Dear All,
after having tested the various WM6 solutions provided by Erofich (who did a great job, chapeau!), I lastly decided to revert to the original WM5 OS, since I prefer to operate my StarTrek mobile in my mother tongue, which is German.
However, what I would like to have anyway, is the current version of Office Mobile, since DocumentsToGo has still problems with the docx-files from Word, even if its vendors are praising their product as being "100% compatible" with MS Office 2007 - nothing but wishful thinking.
For these reasons, I would like to have Office Mobile, since, even if it may suffer from various limitations, it is at least compatible with files created by means of the desktop version of MS Office.
I have started several attempts to install Office Mobile 6.1 on my StarTrek, and I lastly succeeded, but, when I try to run e.g. Word Mobile, I get an error message, which reads like this: "cannot find pword.exe; make sure that all necessary libraries are present."
Needless to say that pword.exe is on the right place and that the relevant values (e.g. paths) in the registry appear to be ok.
I have also installed .net on my mobile, which took me more that 90% of the remaining free memory (what a horror!), but it didn't help either.
So, if somebody has a suggestion - all comments are welcome!
Thanks in advance,
The Wolf
You can try this...
Well, the problem I had before was I used the upgrade .msi files which naturally required the original version or version 6. I then downloaded a .cab file which showed the error that you had. This is what I did, before, when I was still using WM5. I installed the 6.1 version which had support for docx, as sed I had the same problem that you did, then I installed the .msi upgrade version. What it did was it repaired my previous installation.
I hope this helps you. It worked for me. Good luck.
You can try this...
I'm sorry if I can't upload the files, it seems that I may have lost it...
Hi Pampooh,
I was able to successfully repeat this under WM6 - here, it works indeed.
But I still fail to get Office 6.1 onto my StarTrek under WM5.
Thanks a lot anyway.

I downloaded the upgrade from O2 and run it on my QTEK 2020. The process finished without any errors but I am surprised/dissapointed that:
-this upgrade IS NOT the one announced by Microsoft recently i.e. WM2003 second edition
-the applications that are listed in the pdf instructions have not been installed on my QTEK
-the BT remains the same
Am I missing something or was expecting too much from this update?
Well this upgrade is just bug fixes and no new features. The Windows Mobile 2003 Special Edition (SE) is just out of the door. I just with testing and all we would be luck to get this towards the end of second quarter or the third q. Even then I am not sure if it is going to be free or even offered as an paid upgrade.
Regards,
Kueh.
What about the applications that are listed in the pdf, I think something is a miss as I haven't even got the o2 active interface after the upgrade...nor any of the new apps.
check if the ext-rom is proberly installed...
you can even run this manually.
how do I check that it is properly installed?
how do I got about reinstalling it? is it just a case of opening the installer in winzip and then rerunning one of the files?
Enable the hidden extended rom by using the attached cab. Reset it. Use file explorer to view the extended rom in the root directory. if your extended rom has been installed correctly, you should be able to find o2ActiveUIEngl.CAB. run it to get your active O2.
:lol:
When my XDAII rebooted after upgrade there was no O2Active and no links to it - I just did another hard reset and it installed itself correctly the second time around.
extened rom
Thanks all, i used the ext rom viewer and managed to install the missing new applications. i might do a hard reset anyway just to be sure.
thanks again.
I just put together the following pieces
OS 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
ExtROM 1.72.902
"CountryCode" = TMOBILE
All configured for T-Mobile NL

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
NOTE: This thread is being replaced by
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=68652#68652
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.
A few day's ago i flashed my rom with 2003 SE from the rom kitchen. Due to various incompatabilities i reflashed with a more common 2003 rom.
However the "rotate" screen button was a nice feature in 2003 se. Does sombody know what program is responsable for this ? Or how i can mimic this behavour in 2003
Greetings,
Herman.
well you could try using...what was that....oh... "jslandscape" or "nyditot" ppc programs. before the 2003se rom came out i tried nyditot myself but found that it caused my device to hang...thus resulting in a hard reset. a LOT of people have been trying to bring the landscape application into the 2003 rom...fortunately the se came out and problem solved. for you; just make sure you back up your system as there's a good chance it'll hang...
I tried 3.04.00 ENG Microsoft (2003SE from the rom kitchen. However it was a beta build. And din't work with some aps i had running. Like worms.
I can't seem to find an current version anywere.
The best i found was 3.04 and that has serious compatibility issue's
Maybe you can upload your version ? or are you running 3.04 ?
Your warnings were correct. I needed to hard reset to recover from the instalation of nyditot. It overwrites serveral system files. And did not work on my device.
too bad you ended up having to do a hard reset. sorry mate but i'm using wm2005 on my unit. i still have the old wm2003se upgrade files stored in a cd but this is based on the asian rom...not sure if it'll work with you. i can send it...not sure if email will handle it though as i'm sure you know how big those files are. you could try searching for a more compatible rom over at buzz's website (buzzdev.net)...i would also think people there would be willing to help you out.
cheers
But you have different devices. He is talkig about the Wallaby and you have at least the Himalaya.....
Stefan
That is corect, But is there a newer version of 2003 se ?
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

Many thanks finalzero - just grabbed it.

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.

hi bro, thank's for the great work, anyway i've downloaded the file from ftp and try to upgade the ROM, ROM n radio is installed successfully but the extended ROM has no effect at all (did nothing after ExtROM upgrade and after hard reset even i already do the soft reset many times) no application and camera installed because no response please help
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?
Hi,
Noticed lots of progress with the WM2005 for XDAII project and want to congratulate everyone involved for their hardwork.
I wanted some feedback on the upgrade process from those that have done it, how did they find the upgrade process, is the device working as intended (if not, how much of the device is funtional) etc.
I am currently running my own cooked WM2003SE Rom with v1.19 Radio and it works great, everything works with out a glitch and I have not had any issues for over a year - I would like to try a copy of WM2005 in the hope that I will get the same functionality as I currently have.
The only thing putting me off right now is lack of info as to how it works, what problems are there such as not being able to downgrade if I need to etc. Just basic concerns really.
I want to get my hands on a fully working rom image for my XDAII as I do allot of pocket PC development and would like to start working on apps geared towards Windows Mobile 5.0.
Cheers,
Fz
yo this is my first post, i have only had my xdaii for about two weeks and have upgraded to wm2005, i think in some respects it is better than 2003, but it has some issues like camera button and record button not working, but there is software to resolve these issues. one other bad point is that that you cant seem to copy your contacts, there is a program calleed asukal sim manager but this doesnt work either. the way to fix it is to go into to the windows folder and find a FILE called simuploader and this does it all for you, some of the plus points is it is much easier to extend your rom, and when you install programs it gives you the option as to where you would like to save it storage program etc. to answer another question yes you can flash back to 2003 as i have gone back to 2003 se and have since changed the rom several times. I hope some of this info is ok for you......
