Anyone know how to translate this ROM 2.20Chinese to English...
so we can have wmp10 in our XDA, and other features that is better than 2.06 and 2.02 ROM....
mamaich : can you teach us how to translate the english langguage, or you can upload this rom 2.20 that have been translate to english in this forum... big hope
Or the original rom of 2.20 CHS because when i try to download through the link you provided.... I always cannot completed the download and that file was not on your website (when i try to visit the page directly).
thx in advance
I also have mailed some days ago to Mamaich asking for some info about Win2k3se and Wmp10 translation..
Now we all waiting..
The test version of English ROM made from chinese 2.20 is uploaded to http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/en.rar
archive contains nk.nba file that should be processe d with xda2nbftool and flashed.
I've uploaded mkrom toolkit used to create this ROM to: http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/mkrom_220chs.rar (18.5 mb)
Original toolkit is taken from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/mkrom
To use it you'll need Linux or CygWin enviroment (I use cygwin), Perl, hex editor (I use HIEW). You should place new files to files1...files5 directories. Here is the maximal size these directories can be:
Files1: 655360 bytes
Files2: 1245184 bytes
Files3: 262144 bytes
Files4: 524288 bytes
Files5: 1114112 bytes
Toolkit would not warn you if this size is exceeded and would produce dead ROMs.
Files1 folder should contain mxip_MYXIP_100.rgu file which is a modified registry. CreateEngLinks.exe is a program that runs after hardreset and creates english folders and links. I was unable to patch the initobj.dat and default.fdf files in ROM, so I had to create this program.
cfg\os.nb1 is a "base" ROM image with some files renamed. You should not touch default.fdf, initobj.dat and kernel.rgu
When you run ./a.sh file it would produce a new ROM named nk.nb1. Use any hex editor to place this file to offset 0x40040 of NK.NBA I've posted in the prev. message and modify it's CRC and encrypt:
xda2nbftool.exe -c -u NK.nba
xda2nbftool -x NK.nba NK.nbf 0x20040304
Use this toolkit at your own risk. Addresses in ./a.sh are taken from 2.20.07 chinese simplified ROM and should be modified to be used with other ROMs. You may completely destroy your device if this toolkit is used incorrectly.
Hey mamaich,
that's perfect! THANX
Let me try it now...

Hi Mamaich... can you tell me what is the difference about this two files or links.
1. http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/chineese_se.rar
2. http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/en.rar
Is the number 1 totally 100% Chinnese? and the number 2 is 80% English, 20% Chinnese?
Thank You...

XDA2 WM2003 SE 2.20.07 WWE
Hi,
for your convenience I just created regular upgrade package out of mamaich's nk.nba file.
PERFECT WORK mamaich... )))
It is Country ID and Operator ID INDEPENDENT, however it will change your device to Qtek + WWE after upgrade.
If you don't like that, just edit .nbf files yourself.
OS version 2.20.07
Radio version: 1.18.00
Extended ROM is NOT included, because I believe, that anyone can build his own Ext ROM to suit his personal taste...
Get it here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Himalaya_SE/Himalaya_WM2003SE_2.20.07_Upgrade.zip
Unpack and run HimaUpgradeUT.exe
buzz
Hi.. is that 100% english or youve just rip it to mamaich room? still 80% English? sorry for this stupid question...
RE
Hi!
What are the major differences between the WM2003se Chinese-to-English ROM vs the available other 3 English ROMs
I suppose it can read/write chinese sms without the use of 3rd-party program?
How's the bluetooth performance? Still has the vanishiing Headset icon on the Today screen?
Thanks
i upgraded with the 2.20 file, anything runs fine, except, i can't turn on my qtek2020 with any button, neither the power button, nor the application buttons. only way to turn it on is doing a soft-reset or getting an incoming call..
what went wrong with the update??
regards epo
Great work mamaich and buzz_lightyear!!! Unbelievable work the both of you!!!
I have not yet tried and will do so in due time, but I am fairly certain that it is yet another accomplishment to be highly commended...
- Cheers and thanks again for the excellent work
Hey Epo.... is it full english? ot still like the same with mamaich rom?
it seems to be fully english.. anything works fine, except i can't turn it on with the buttons..
ok, now it works, seems to be a problem of my extended rom..
i reflashed it without executing the extended rom and now it works!
great work mamaich!!!!
Hi all, few questions ...
1. Does this ROM still have the hide&seek effect with the BT profile plug-in ?
2. The other 2 versions have only 3 alarms for the clock, and I really miss the 4th one in 1.72
3. It took me some time to localize the 2.06 one on my I-mate, did any one try this ROM with the arabic language ?
The MOST stable rom from among SEs
Hi,
Thanks Guys!
This is the most stable one from all SEs.
To make it more stable, turn off your radio when doing soft-resets and don't install or edit any language registry values! And don't use software that works with them, such as LENG and other.
Does anyone know how to enable russian language input mode now?
Rom: 2.20CHS
Radio: 1.18
Ext: 1.72-IMATE
Some Anomalies?
Hi!
When I open Programs -> File Explorer -> My Documents, I see some folders with square boxes as folder names. Any purpose for these folders? They are empty. Can I delete them?
One thing I found is that when my phone is off my O2 II will soft reset if I tap the GPRS icon on the Today screen top bar. Is this normal or am I getting a new soft reset button?
Thanks
:roll:
More square boxes
Again, when I go to Programs -> File Explorer -> Program Files I see a square box folder. Another thing is that there're two WMP folders. One of them is Windows Media PlayerCS which on opening display square boxes
Next, is if I go to Windows I see a square box folder right on the first line. If you tap on it it'll open with more square box folders and the icons - Help, Calendar, Phone, Contacts and Messaging come with square box names.
I presume all these square boxes are in chinese not properly translated yet.
Hope to see an updated version soon
Thanks
Hi,
I see square boxes in the "Connections" settings panel too.
Good work!
Thanks,

I had a hard time to upgrade and modify my xda2 so I decided to make a small tutorial for everyone with the information’s I found on the forum. It’s not perfect but it could help.
Thank's to every one who made all this possible!!
Before starting I recommend every one to make a back-up of your rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4608
1- Extended Rom:
Your XDA2 has an Invisible Extended Rom in the device containing the operator’s configuration files and software.
Modifying it will allow you to customize the boot image and to choose the programs you wish to install during the setup of the device.
To show the extended rom on your device your need to apply this small hack and then open your file explorer:
http://www.ppcw.net/index.php?itemid=1638
2- Files contained in the Extend Rom:
Broadcast_WWE.sa.CAB:
Seems to only set the CellBroadcast setting to enabled or disabled. (I guess this refers to the Reception of News via SMS by selecting channels of interested. Quite expensive I think and only interesting for phones that do not have any other capabilities of receiving and displaying information).
T-Mobile NL sets it on, with O2 it's switched off.
CallerIDRC11_WWE_1.5.sa.CAB:
Installs the CallerID application from IA Style and the Photo Contacts extension. There are other programs that are able to provide this functionality but I use it.
CameraRC131_WWE_1.5.sa.CAB:
The camera application for taking pictures and recording videos. AFAIK there is currently no alternative to this one, you should leave it in your ROM.
GPRSMonitor_WWE.sa.CAB:
Includes the GPRS Monitor from SPB Soft. Very useful I would recommend it unless you aren't going to use GPRS anyway.
MIDI56.sa.CAB:
RingTone plugin player. Allow you to play back RingTones in the following formats: mid,3gp,mp4. Also seems to register the audio/midi MIME type for playback of midi files directly from Internet Explorer.
By default the XDA can play back only wav and wma audio files (AFAIK)
MMS1507_WWE.sa.CAB:
Installs the Arcsoft MMS application for composing and sending MMS messages.
VideoMMS.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Installs the "Video MMS.exe" file into the Windows folder. When you start it you are in camera mode immediately and after you have recorded a picture or video you get into MMS composition mode.
This seems to be just an easier way to compose MMS messages since the main MMS Application (see above) is already able to compose MMS messages.
OEM_AKU1_WWE_4AP.sa.CAB (named OEM_4AP_WWE.CAB in Qtek ROM)
Installs the following files: GPRSAuthentication.exe, BTSetting.exe, STK.exe and WModem.exe
I am not sure if these are customized versions or if the normal ROM doesn't contain them. Well perhaps not because these are specific to the Phone edition so they can't be present in the main ROM, maybe they are contained in the Radio ROM, but probably they are only contained here, meaning you shouldn't remove this cab file.
OEM_WWE_03120301.sa.CAB (named OEM_WWE_03122301.sa.CAB in Qtek ROM)
Installs files for Bluetooth: AudioGW.dll, BthASPlugIn.dll, rilgsm.dll, Serial3.dll and Wavedev.dll. Also contains the new feature of mapping a (dynamic) serial port for BT.
I think you should not remove it.
TM_phone_class10.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Installs several registry settings regarding phone functionality. (See my other post regarding this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5539)
TMCOMREG.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Contains some of the settings contained in the previous one anyway. I'm not sure if it does anything else but I don't think so.
TMD_AP_NL.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Implements several settings specific to T-Mobile (NL): Restricts video types for MMS. Adds connection and gateway settings for MMS connection via T-Mobile NL. Adds a T-Mobile profile to GPRS Monitor.
I would not install this cab unless you live in NL!
TMD_NL.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Sets the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\3rdversion\MSYSTEM1 value to the provider name.
Not required!
TMDNLCustomize.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Adjusts all the "theming" stuff: Changes colors, installs Today-theme, installs T-Mobile Dialpad, sets T-Mobile ringtone.
If you don't like you xda2 look like a pink pig you should leave this out.
(You can extract single items from the cab file if you like)
t-mobile_shortcuts_only(UK).PPC2002_ARM.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Contains some strange things that seem to me rather useless: "WebDisplayText t-zones", "T-Mobile Resetter.exe", "T-Mobile PIE Launcher.exe", "TMobileWebToday.dll", "T-Mobile Homepage Plugin".
I wouldn't install this one!
Version_AKU1.sa.CAB (Version_AKU1_160.sa.CAB in Qtek):
Seems to only set the version number of the extended ROM in the registry.
3- Modifying and editing your Extended Rom:
Most of the latest XDA2 have a write protected Extended Rom
A) For NOT Write Protected Extended Rom:
If your XDA2 Extended Rom is not write protected just add the new files you want, you can find on the forum many different extend rom files (O2, T_Mobile, Orange) and kitchen your own extended Rom by adding the cab files directly in the Extended_rom directory and soft reset.
B) For Write Protected Extended Rom:
The only way for the moment (until we find a way to make the rom writable) is to use the upgrade programs used by the operators and ER2003Edit program.
1)- Download
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/ruu15283.zip
or
http://www.clubimate.com/Support/ruu113sku1.zip
2) Simply unpack the complete T-Mobile Rom update file (it's a zipped EXE) into a folder.
There you will find these 6 files:
- HimaClearJumpCode.exe
- HimaGetDeviceData.exe
- HimaUpgradeUt.exe
- ms_.nbf <----- this is the file which holds Ext Rom!
- NK.nbf (main rom)
- Radio_.nbf (radio rom)
3) Delete the other *.nbf files to prevent updating the full XDA2/MDA2 rom. You only need "ms_.nbf" and the "*.exe" files!
4) Now modify the ms_.nbf with the tool softworkz kindly provided.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/ER2003Edit
5) After this, install the modified ext-rom to your XDA2/MDA2 by starting "HimaUpgradeUt.exe" and follow the instructions!
6) If you get a country code error during the install you will need to modify the country code included in the ms_.nbf file
- Download xda2nbftool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5563
- Put xda2nbftool.exe in the same folder as your ms_.nbf file
- Run xda2nbftool.exe from Command Prompt and type the following command
xda2nbftool.exe -so O2 -v ms_.nbf
Replace O2 by your operator’s name (ex: orange, O2 etc)
It should now work!
cheers,
Yann
nice one Yann
Thanks
I had a go at doing the "if your extended rom is protected"
I down loaded the file
1)- Download
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/ruu15283.zip
and accidentally ran it.... I know I was stupid... I now have an I-Mate instead of a XDA - O2. Please help can I get the O2 back is there a programme that does the same as the one I just have used. It has changed every thing the radio stack, the other bits of software, I am just pleased it still works of calls.
I couldn’t find the indivuiual HimaUpgradeUt.exe programme any ware.
Please help I am really stuck at the minute!!
The bit I didn’t understand was the bit about unpack the exe. Which I now understand how to do. Although I have upgraded to Rom 1.52.00wwe, radio version 1.06.01, I can haply say I have the original O2 rom back in place with additional programmes installed in the Ex-Rom. I had a fair bit of space so I popped some music files in as well!!!!
Thanks for all the help!!!!
thanks yann for the perfect summary
as newby i needed something clear like this to dare my first rom changes, and i successfully did!
it would be even more perfect if also somehow the program settings/passwords could be cooked in/restored from the extended rom. i searched the forum but could not find any hints.
Are there methods for this ?
Perhaps a silly question, but I'm fairly conservative when it comes to messing around with my device.
How do you find out or know if your Ext ROM is write protected or not? I know that I can add applications to my Ext ROM and it does not seem like I should be able to do that if it's write protected, but then again I'm not sure if this matters.
Ed
ed, if you can copy files to your ext-rom via activesync, it is per definition not write-protected.
your not that conservative, because you already run a tool or edited the registry to be able to see the ext-rom
ronald,
Well I guess you are right I do like to play around, as I get more comfortable doing so. It is this Forum, guys like you, and some other forums that have made this possible for me to do. For some reason I'm more comfortable in general hacking around a desktop pc than a PPC.
I thought my Ext ROM must not be write protected. When I deleted the TMD files, described here as useless, I got the message that they were read only, but they did go away from the Ext ROM Folder. I do not notice a big difference, however, nor did it free up that much memory. I was thinking that I might need to do more then this. Do I?
So basically, if my Ext ROM is not right protected, and I have been already loading programs into the Ext ROM, I’m pretty much at the place people are trying to get with the Ext ROM Cook ER...Edit. Is that correct or am I missing something here?
Ed
Ed,
I do not like flashing rom (or bios) on either my desktop or PDA (if not absolute sure to fix bugs). However flashing the PDA's ext-rom can basically not screw up the PDA because you don't touch the OS, so I flashed the ext-rom to get familiar with the PDA flashing in general (and also to have a restore of my standard used software after a hard-reset).
About your ext-rom; I do not recognise your situation. I would say if it is read-only the file will not disappear (like with my PDA).
I did notice while editing the ext-rom file for flashing that the file is fixed ~16MB, regardless of which cab's are included or deleted.
Maybe this is the same effect that you see when deleting the file in the ext-rom ???????? (although I can imagine both effects have no relation)
ronald
Camera Programs
Okay,
I made a custom ROM with the following programs:
CAB: \Extended_ROM\CameraRC131_WWE_1.5.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\CallerIDRC11_WWE_1.5.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MMS1507_WWE.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\GPRSMonitor_WWE.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Version_AKU1.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\OEM_AKU1_WWE_4AP.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\OEM_WWE_03120301.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\VideoMMS.sa.CAB
Awesome, alot less bloat, but.... Camera doesn't work.. Application says Camera is not a valid Pocket PC application. :: grumble ::
Did I miss something?? Camera.exe is there, but doesn't work
Brandon
My Ext ROM is not write protected, and I'm able to run applications in the EXT ROM Folder. I deleted the 2 TMD and the T-Mobile cab files, but I have not nticed a big difference, nor is my GPRS back to always on, which it should be now.
Perhaps the device requires another hard reset without these cab files in place prior to the changes taking actual effect. Does anyone know if my assumption is accurate about the required hard reset?
Ed
what dictates if the ExtROM is write protected or not? is it the version? or the hardware itself? or a mix of the version with the OS checks?
cuz i believe the ROM version is dictated by the version_AKU1.sa.cab. does that mean we can hack the cab (or use a diff version) to disable the write protection?
i'm using a himalaya btw.
I have a question or two.
I'd also like to know if it is possible to modify CAB files so they install an application and then also put in your purchased key or serial depending on the application so it's already registered to yourself. It seems like it must be possible because the GPRS Monitor on the T-Mobile Extended ROM is already Registered when you try and register it yet I was under the impression it normally has to have a key entered to turn it into the full version with no limits.
This would be great if this was possible, if it's a key file then it's simple to copy it over but how about automatic registry entries? Are these done similar to Windows .reg files? Does anyone have any info if a .reg file can be make and run from the Extended ROM to make changes to the registry? This would also allow me to key in a few other things I'd like presetup.
Is there a way to see what registry changes a CAB file makes other than from purchasing MagicCAB? Is there a free program like this? It seems like a reasonable program from the info but I don't want to spend 10 dollars on a program I might only use once or twice.
Acutally, one more while I'm here. Does anyone have a CAB installation version of CabInstl which puts a shortcut in the Programs or an easy way for me to make that? I've set it up so it will copy the EXE in manually along with a shortcut but I've yet to try it. I think it should work OK I imagine, just might be neater and have an uninstall if it's in a CAB format?
Can you delete files from the extended ROM script? Just so I can clear out a few folders of things I don't want in there when I do a hard reset?
Thanks for all your help. I'm looking forward to making a super kick ass Extended ROM for myself, I'm half way there
Updating the indirect way
Had a few problems with the updating process... and thought i would explain how I got around them!
First I updated to the standard 16007DE ROM
Then I installed the Extended Rom Viewer, and then because it is protected, i copied the contents to my HDD.
Then i tried to open the Rom update from T-mobile with the Extended ROM editor, but kept on getting file access errors The only one i could open was the NL 13006 version. So I changed the splash screen, deleted the origianl contents, and then inserted the contents from my updated original Extended ROM, as well as a few other bits that i could find, IE the extended ROM viewer. It is updating at the moment, So I hope it all works.
I have a few questions though!
Does anyone know a way in which I can automatically install a few themes, and a few ringtones? I have a few MIDI files that i want to be installed into the windows\rings folder, and the themes need to go in a folder called themes in My Documents. I also wanted to ask if there is a way to extract the CAB from another program, for instance Voice Commander. It is an MSI, but only works in windows!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

- Download the T-Mobile MDA2 ROM 1.60.36
- Remove O2 apps i don't want to use
- Add applications from T-mobile rom which i want to use

- Save new O2 ROM and upgrade
But... I want to add custom ring tones to contacts, and if possible also want to add custom picture. Also my camera must be able to work. Which software do i need for this?
Because.. All i want to upgrade is today theme to O2's and also the software to 1.60.50... Does the O2 rom also has an "TMDNLCustomize.sa.CAB" ?

2 questions for you,
1. how do i know whether my rom is the editable 1 or the non editable one?
2. I tried option A, just mergly adding the CAB files into the EXTROM but... when the hard reset was perform it did not install the CAB files i added in? what could be the prob i know there is a "autorun.exe" in it but i dunno whether will it affect the process. I also notice a "config.txt" in the extrom, tried editing it but it seems that nothing happen
Reason for adding the cab files is because i was using a 1.72.00 rom with radio stack 1.12 but intend to change it to radio stack 1.14 and also try cooking up my own rom in the ktchen but after doin so its like nothing happen. need some advice for cooking roms in the kitchen been searching the forum... found a few but its all talking about Linux platform.
Hi Kelvin,
1)
The way to know if your rom is not writ protected is if you see a folder called extended_rom in the root of XDAII and if you can add files in it.
If not, there’s a nice tool to make the extended_rom visible and to make it writable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8422&highlight=extended+rom+hide
2) The config.txt is made to lunch the programs in the extended rom when you hard reset the XDA or when it starts for the first time.
You just need to put the cab files in your extended_rom folder and edit the config.txt this way:
Exemple:
I added the cab file vxIPConfig.ppc3_arm.CAB in the folder extended_rom
and added this line in config.txt
CAB: \Extended_ROM\vxIPConfig.ppc3_arm.CAB
Cheers,
Yann
hi yann,
i tried doing that way as i figured out that config is like a startup "prg" to actually start the programs installing when hard reset is performed. But the thing is i cannot make the programs i added in the install after the hard reset is perform. I don't know why but the rest of the cab files can be done. Do adding of all this cab files into the ROM consider cooking ROM??? not really fimilar with the terms of cooking ROM unless that is the way.
Hi Folks,
o2 Germany has now published an upgrade to ROM version 1.60.52 GER.
http://hilfe.o2online.de/srvs/DATA/...download/xda_software/neu/xda_16052ger_o2.exe
THIS VERSION IS GERMAN ONLY (ALTHOUGH INSTALLER IS IN ENGLISH), SO ONLY UPGRADE WHEN YOU HAVE A GOOD COMMAND OF THE GERMAN LANGUAGE OR INTEND TO STUDY ANOTHER FOREIGN LANGUAGE!
o2 kept us waiting for a long time, but it looks like it was worth waiting and some old problems (like HZ-Indicator; Bluetooth etc.) have been fixed (at least they tried to!).
Have fun, any comments on the new version are highly appreciated!
bobpopo
Hi!
when i extract extended ROM image file, it can't be accesed by ROM editor from Wiki.. what's wrong?
now that we have thsi update, the question is: do we get a wm2k3se update and if so, when?
Um... is the language in german, or in english, or can it be switched to english?
First Upgrade leads to "Country Error" - Downgrade
After reading some postings in a German forum I already knew about the problem for those using XDAII with T-Mobile ROM 1.60.00 GER:
The update program won't start, displaying "Country error" (or sth. like that). This problem is solved by downgrading to T-Mobile 1.03.00 (which can be downloaded on the same page as the upgrade). After that upgrade works fine, leading to:
ROM-Version: 1.60.00GER
ROM-Date: 12/03/03
Radio-Stack: 1.10.00
Protokoll-Vers: 1337.18
ExtROM-Vers: 1.60.52 (attached)
Compared to the German T-Mobile 1.60 ROM, the radio stack seems to be improved (from 1.06.01 to 1.10.00) and the o2 ExtROm was updated (from 1.03.27 to 1.60.52). Also some good news for the o2 subscribers in Germany using the XDAII: The Homezone control seems to be fixed -until now I did not spot any problems.
Enjoy (and report bugs)...
HI Is this safe to use on the UK XDA II?
Should I wait until the uk release?
The only thing that I am waiting for mainly is a Bluetooth handsfree profile.
@oliven_99
How's your german... 'cause this is a true german update ;-)
links für downgrade pls
"The update program won't start, displaying "Country error" (or sth. like that). This problem is solved by downgrading to T-Mobile 1.03.00 (which can be downloaded on the same page as the upgrade). After that upgrade works fine "
Where can we download T-Mobile 1.03.00
Pls post the link for the german T-Mobile 1.03.00 downgrade because I also got the Country Error!
http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/company/t-mobile/mda_2_ver_10305.zip
But remember: Downgrade and Upgrade is in German!
It works
Many Thanks!
Does anyone knoews why the ext. ROM Version 1.60.52 GER can not be opened, edited with Windows Mobile 2003 ROM Editor from Wiki?
Homezone Indicator
Cool!!!
The homezone indicator seems now to work stable!
Well done, O2 Germany
CAUTION!!!
Today I got shocked when I tried to modify the ExtROM and almost ruined it. After the common way with ER2003edit did not work out, I tried to downgrade the ExtROM to 1.03.05 (T-Mobile) with the old HimaUpgradeUt that came with that version.
After doing that, the XDA did not work anymore, just showing "serial USB 1.1". After that I tried to flash my cooked ExtROM (merger out of the latest ExtROM and some other cabs), what left my XDA still without function. Then slowly panic arose and I flashed the latest, complete upgrade (1.60.52) again, what led to a standard & working XDAII.
Now I am happy that I did not ruin the device, but still looking for a way to modify the ExtROM. Maybe it is time for those who really know what they are doing to give a little hint to the masses, how this can be solved...

Okay, finally I figured out, how to flash the new version with my own ExtROM:
If you are upgrading your XDAII from the MDAII 1.60 ROM, please prepare your XDAII for flashing by downgrading to MDAII 1.03 ROM as explained above. Otherwise you will get a country error.
1. download xda_16052ger_o2.exe from o2 Germany
http://hilfe.o2online.de/srvs/DATA/...download/xda_software/neu/xda_16052ger_o2.exe
2. download ER2003Edit
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/ER2003Edit
3. download tool Decode extended ROM below (thanks Jos!)
4. use WinRAR to extract the upgrade files from xda_16052ger_o2.exe (you'll get six files: 3 Hima* and 3 *.nbf)
5. unzip files from Decode extended ROM to a separate folder and add ms_.nbf (from step 4) and run decode.bat
6. after decoding, you can open the file ms_.nbf with ER2003Edit, modify the ExtROM-Files and splash images.
7. after modifying, save and run encode.bat, but only perform the encoding step, afterwards copy ms_.nbf back to the files extracted in step 4
8. now start HimaUpgradeUt.exe and flash XDAII as usual, but with your individual ExtROM
(According O2 this step can take up to 1 1/2 hours!)
This upgrade worked out with my German XDAII with (locked) ExtROM. In former versions of the upgrade utility it was possible, to upgrade the ExtROM only, one just had to remove the unwanted *.nbf before upgrading. But now it looks like only a full upgrade will lead to a working XDAII. Otherwise it will be dead but can be recoverd by giving a full upgrade with all three parts.
I will certainly only be held liable for ruining my own XDAII - what you do to your gemstone is on your own risk. There might be easier ways, please drop a note if you find one...
New splash screen...
Just to make it complete:
While installing the new ROM I noticed that there is a second splash image, which is changed to the old one after executing O2DECustomize.sa.CAB. As I liked that new splash screen better, I have changed it within the cab file and removed some other useless example files.
Just replace the old O2DECustomize.sa.CAB in your ExtROM with the one below or copy to and execute on your XDAII to change splash screen (will stay until the next hardreset).
The RSB-Converter is just a tool that I found while waiting for ages to get a trial key for ACDSee. Take this tool if you want to convert your individual splash screeen to the required RSB format. Find further information on creating individual splash screen here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3759&highlight=splash1+nb
After creating your favorite splash image (as *.bmp, 24 bit) cut 13 pixel from the left side of the picture and paste it to the right side (after moving the big part to the left). If you don't do that your splash won't fit the screen properly.
Hi all
For those how what to save close to 2MB space in their ext-rom I have a set of updated files
O2_DE_custimized has additional the settings made in
Broadcast_GER
MIDI_GER_reg
O2_AP_DE_20040118
O2_DE
version_AKU1 which you don't need anymore.
removed is O2 movie, spash images, and O2 ringtone
additonal the regfile makes the ext-rom visible and activates cleartype by default.
CameraRD132_GER removed help file and button graphic
ClearVue233_GER removed ads/demo files
regards, Alex
At the german forum "ppc-welt-community" a user reported, that he tried the update with his xda1 an the upgrate worked.
I doubt about this...what do you mean? Should it be possible to upgrade the xda1?
:?
Hey, I found the entry in the forum, there is no way written that somebody actually manged it or was so stupid to try it.
I think it won't even start, as the bootloader are not the same and the UpgradeUtility will (hopefully) not start at all.
There is an upgrade to WindwosMobile2003 for XDAI this is what he writes about, this is not the upgrade which is here talked about.

Dear Fellas,
Where can I get a step by step ROM upgrade instruction to upgrade/flash my XDA II into WM2003SE? I have been through the forum, but still can not find a basic guide to do the upgrade.
I have downloaded "Customized_WM2003SE_Asian_Edition_Version2.zip" from ZeroXtreme. What can I do with this file? How can I start it?
Anyone can help me pleaseeee.......Thanks a lot.
Rgds,
Fendie
Ahoy there matey!
this is what you do:
1. decide on what version you want to use.
2. get them roms. (E.g. read through DCS's post on the ORIGINAL WMSE)
currently there are three versions of the WMSE namely 2.02,2.06, and 2.20.
3. check your device data for language and operator:
use getdevicedata.exe from the upgrade files, copy it to your device's windows directory, then tap on it.... it will produce a log file, copy the log file to your desktop pc, then use notepad.exe to view it.
look for the language setting e.g. WWE, CHT... etc.
look for operator settings e.g. O2, Qtek... etc.
now check your downloaded NK.nbf, MS.nbf and radio.nbf to see if they have the same settings as your device..... you can use ER2003edit.exe which can be downloaded from wiki.xda-developers.com.
if the files have the same settings, thats good... if not... change it so that they would be the same as your device.... better yet use DCS's batch file for easier conversion... (note, DCS's 2.02 rom is set to WWE,O2)
now... assuming you had made all the preparations... (language, operator settings, and that you have a complete set of roms e.g. NK.nbf, MS.nbf and radio.nbf)
put them all in one directory along with the other files that came with the upgrade package.
make sure you have a full battery before proceeding with the upgrade.
plug the charger to tha cradle and the cradle to the comnputer.
click on himalaya upgrade program.... then the program will run, put the device in the cradle and watch the screen for further instructions
goodluck...
be sure to read on DCS's post regarding upgrades for a more detailed info.
assuming everything goes well; during the upgrade do NOT take out the unit from the cradle; go watch tv or something...if you receive an error message; don't fret. the forum hosts a lot of topics on how to revive your unit...
and if your xda dies during the upgrade; make sure your tray tables are in their upright position, put your head between your legs and kiss your arse goodbye
what do guys suggest the ROM i use?
which one is the most stable?
mate, i noticed that you're from the philippines. i'm based in thailand i used the rom posted by zeroextreme; it's the wm2003 se asian rom. pretty stable that one; after upgrading my unit's power consumption improved noticeably. although as expected some apps may not display well when using landscape mode (those're the apps not designed for wm2003 use). but overall the rom upgrade was well worth it. stable and no hick ups; been using it for more than 2 weeks now i think.
others may have useful tips on the other roms they used for upgrading; not to mention experiences.
cheers
acid.... try 2.02.t1 they say its more stable than 2.06.
thanks mga kababayan!

Hi Z-Man,
Thanks for your response. But still do not understand in some areas
I just got MS.nbf and some *.CAB files from the extended ROM of ZeroXtreme. There are no NK.nbf and Radio.nbf. Is it because it's an Extended ROM? Where can I get the "non-extended" ROM?
And I don't really understand on DCS's post.
Sorry, I am really really newbie.....
Many thanks.
Rgds,
Fendie
ms.nbf is the extended ROM, you still need to get the radio.nbf and nk.nbf
download the file here:
HIMALAYA_WM2003SE.zip and Operator update.zip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13588
extract all files to one directory... and add the ms.nbf that you have
you didnt mention the operator and languange settings of your device... check your device info....
then use DCS's batch file to convert the settings.... by default, DCS uses WWE and O2.
make sure all the nbf's are set to the same settings...
then begin upgrade

Hi everyone. Just wondering if there's any possible (preferably free) way to get other language packs/fonts on the mogul. I was looking a japanese website and got frustrated when 90% of it was in block form....=(
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You want type/read Japanese on your mogul? I am a Japanese, so I can help you
First, do you cook your own ROM or do you use pre-built ROM?
If you cook your own ROM, this method will be far more stable:
Method 1 (stable) (designed to work only with dcd kitchen...)
Extract WinCENLS_WWE.zip to your kitchen's SYS directory, overwriting the WinCENLS_WWE directory and all the files inside. Make sure wince.nls was overwritten or else you will fail.
Extract Localize_Japanese.zip to your kitchen's OEM directory, and when you go to build a ROM, ensure that "Localize Japanese" is checked in BuildOS as an option under heading "Localizations" (it should be at bottom).
If you have any failure about SIP, hive file, etc... please don't continue and tell me about your trouble and we can go from there. This will NOT work with any other software that make use of SIP type "IME" like HTC xT9 IME keyboard... make sure only one "IME" type software will be installed.
Now, I can't make the IME.cab file into an OEM package. I tried, and fail. If you can make an OEM of it that will work by dcd and other files in the localization, great - and please send me a copy! But, I don't think it can work right now. Anyway, after burn this new ROM to your Titan, launch IME.cab through your SDconfig.txt file.. that way, everytime hard reset will happen, you will not have to think, "Oh, I need to install IME before I can use my phone."
Files:
Localize_Japanese.zip
IME.cab
Alt WinCENLS_WWE.zip location
Method 2 (unstable)
Install asukal's version of this by making use of his program called usemynls.exe which patches wince.nls to another wince.nls from a ROM already built with the 0409 version of the file. This causes system instability and often times you cannot send or receive more than 2 or 3 text messages without causing the machine to need a soft reset. It's highly annoying and not at all correct. But, it works - sort of.
Here is files:
AsukalLetsJapanNo6
IME
Goodluck with method 2 if you do decide to use it...
arigatou gozaimashita!
kondo ROM-wo cook suru toki, Method 1-wo tsukatte-mimasu!
Thank you very much for the info, illuminarok. I'll see if i can make an OEM and get back to you. Thanks again!
Please help me!!!
I bought a brand new HTC Touch2 in December 2009 from a local shop in Greece. Originally, it had the Greek ROM preinstalled (the menus, commands e.t.c. were Greek and it had a special Greek/English Keyboard with a special Language Switching button above the Shift button).
However there were some problems. The Greek translation was awful and the phone often crashed. So, I decided to flash the English ROM. I flashed the HSPL - which I found in this forum - and then installed the original WWE ROM from HTC Pedia. Unfortunately, this ROM doesn't include a Greek Keyboard...
I tried everything (Fixes, Registry Hacks, EzInput Packages, Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 and also tried to understand and edit the Registry keys: ezinput, ezsip, tegic). I realized that all the files needed for the Greek Keyboard existed in the Windows folder of the WWE ROM. So, what I need is the correct Configuration.
I am desperate... I don't know what to do. Can you help me please? Can you create a cab with the correct Configuration (either extracted from the Registry of a Greek ROM or cooked, maybe). Or, if that can't be done, can you upload a Greek ROM? I only need the Greek/English Keyboard (EzInput Configuration)...
Please, it is very important!
Thanks in Advance...
try ths keyboard is better:

I had a very similar issue as you, using a WWE ASIA ROMand wanting a special Chinese input. Same situation: All files seem to be there, but no idea how to get the keyboard. What I did was install the Chinese ROM (would be the Greek one for you), hard reset, select the wanted keyboard, and dump the registry to a text file.
Next I installed the "target" ROM (WWE ASIA for me, WWE from HTCPedia for you), hard reset, and dump the registry again.
Then compare both registry text files. I searched for everything that looked like ezInput related, and finally figured out that for me I needed to change the following:
Code:
1) Delete these 3 keys:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F50603D1-CF2F-41D8-A74B-651226633FF0}
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{5AAFAF99-8D99-4466-A66D-95C44B608A84}
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{9E06C6B8-FE4D-4206-9A5B-6E4C1B8B6AD7}
2) in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip] change the following values:
"CurrentSIP"=dword:00000da4
"HWChineseMode"=dword:00000001
3) in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Keytouch\Multiplay] change the following values:
"nSelectedIme"=dword:00000003
"DefaultIME"="ZY"
Maybe you can do something similar. Good luck!
