XDAII Finalzero ROM upgrade

Hi guys,

I've to say that i'm running 2.06 from Finalzero for 3 days now and so far so good.

My XDAII is now much quicker and responsive with the same app's than before in wm2003;

Rotate screen is smoooooth;

I've found that JGUI MYPHONE today plugin is a no no, made me hard reset and the boot didn't run so i had go into bootloader mode and do a soft reset to run wm2003se again, i almost had an heart attack...

As for the battery, well it gives you a day's work which i consider pretty good, taking consideration the number of calls and the heavy use of my working day.

BT is working really well with Jabra BT200, no radio or sound problems, have not tried activesync.

Soft reseting is hard some times, takes forever. You need to soft reset several times to get the boot loading.Any Thoughts on that?

I'me not going back to WM2003, congrats for the excellent work everybody. :lol:

XDAII

Runnig WM2003SE - 2.06.00WWE

Evening, ive had a few glitches with software, nothing major, in fact it does warn you there may be problems with some 3rd party gear because of the possibility of landscape view, but so far after a full day in my pocket 2 15 min conversations and an hour of WMA playback the battery is sitting at 70%....im pretty impressed to be honest. Perhaps you guys should work for o2..........

"The latest and final Xda II System Software is available for you to download. New and changed in this version of software, v1.72.181"

that be from O2's website, i frankly find that disgusting, how companies can get away with creating something such as the XDA II charging through the nose and then discontinue software support after a year.

Can you imagine Microsoft saying after Windows 98 first came out...well peeps its been a few months, and we think its time to make a new update to this old bird....but unless you buy a new PC you cant use it. In fact while your at it, you can buy it new for a hot of the press £300 or if your really lucky and you already own one will charge you a special upgrade rate at a cool £300........here please turn around whilst i stab you in the back again......

Now i understand that jumps in technology may require new hardware, but SE as far as i can tell has very little extra that MUST HAVE an upgrade.

I know the IIs must have some funky features but hay, is it really that different to the older version, perhaps we should boycott it....

Roll on SE support by you guys!!!

Himalaya_WM2003SE_Upgrade.zip vs WindowsMobile2003SE.exe

On the first page of this thread I saw two sets of upgrade:

I can see that these are upgrades for the whole of the XDA

Himalaya_WM2003SE_Upgrade.zip (OS and Radio)

HIMA_WM_2K3_EXTROM.RAR (Extended ROM CABs)

OperatorUpdate.zip (Update operator ID in .nbf)

But what is this?

WindowsMobile2003SE.exe

What is the difference between it and Himalaya_WM2003SE_Upgrade.zip

Please help and explain.

Problems solved

Well I guess I should have read the instructions first. ;-) After re-reading zero's instructions, I realized that I forgot to hard reset. That did the trick all my extended rom apps installed and all my issues resolved. Been running for about 36 hours now without any issues. So far all my apps seem to be running ok:

Spritebackup - backup and restore worked fine

Citytime - working fine

Agenda fusion - seems to be working normally

Calligrapher - also ok.

Thanks to all for the hard work in getting this out.

i just upgrade to 2.06.00WWE 1.14.00R

the next thing is that, when i saw the Extended_ROM have so little stuff, i need your expectise to give some advice on what are the things that is stable/must have in the Extended_ROM. because those thing is very hard to find its documentation. i know that german people, somehow they always know the hidden documentation behind any comercial devices like sony.. i guess, most probably germen people they are doing the technical of front end for those devices.. =)

my new finding. halfway of conversion, bluetooth cut off. but it should be old finding in this site. i have tried to find "microsoft.com+2003se+bluetooth+patch" and many trial. still couldn't get any patch for it. anyone could spend some time to post the link in here? thanks in advance! ^_^

What to do with the extrom.rar?

I am somewhat confused about what to do with the extrom.rar file. Should I just leave it in the same directory as the HimaUpgradeUt.exe? Or should I extract the files to the same dir... or?!?

Has anyone tried this with the Dutch Orange M1000?

And how do I find out my bootloader version? Can't find it on the wiki or in the forums...

Hello finalzero. How did you achieve that?

The battery life improvement was one of my main reason to plunge into the upgrade. So I upgraded my XDA2 too, but battery life did not improved as per what you've mentioned. Are u using the original 1200 batt? Any special software installed for this achievement?

My rom verion are:

Rom version: 2.06.00WWE

Rom date: 06/14/04

Radio version: 1.18.00

Protocol version: 1337.38

ExtRom version: Sin.Merged.v1.0

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Dingo:
z0mbi3

Theres a common XDA range problem with hard wired GPS. This may be the problem you have. You need to disable the infrared port as is hogs the com 1.

Click

START > SETTINGS > CONNECTIONS TAB > BEAM ICON

Now untick the check box & click OK.

Hopefully this will cure your problem.

Upgrade to WM 2003 SE from ROM 1.60??

Hi All,

I am new to PDA upgrading and am considering an upgrade to WM 2003 SE.

I have a Qtek 2020 ROM 1.60WWE.

Do I need to upgrade my ROM to 1.72WWE before I can apply the WM 2003 SE?

Also, I assume I need to back all my data up first. What is the best way to restore it?

Finally, where can I find ROM upgrades? It looks like there is no place for Qtek 2020 users to find them as Club Imate does not support us.

Thanks very much.

Finalzero ur the MAN

Finalzero I installed ur version of the SE Rom and started liking you. After installing the extended Rom I loved you Now if you can slip in the media player 10 as well i'll marry you.

I have been using the ROM for over two days now installed all sorts of software and everything works fine. Landscape mode works like a charm and so does everthing else. Also loved your Splash screens by the way.

I ran my JABRA BT 250 headset and had no problems infact still using it while typing this out.

There are however a few things that i noticed

1. There is a reddish tinge between some of the text.

2. While installing a game i got an error message but the buttons had little boxes on them instead of OK & Cancel. BTW that was the only time i got them not seen them again.

No HandsFree Profile in 2.06 ?

I've just successfully upgraded to 2.06.

I've used FinalZero (Thanks!!!) version, with the following adjusments:

1. I've changed the operator ID to CDL (imate)

2. Completely changed to my own cooked ExtROM.

I bonded without any problem my Jabra BT250 earphone.

I didn't find anywhere a handsfree profile option. The device recognized the earphone as a headset profile but not handsfree.

Does Handsfree profile accessible somehow in 2.06?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] finalzero:
Hi, I have not checked the battery that came with my XDAII as I bought it from eBay originally. I am using SPB Plus 2.1 which I think has attributed to the battery life and also I do not use WiFi or GPRS which is why I achieved such a good battery time.

I have been using the XDAII more realistically now i.e with bluetooth and GPRS enabled (for my SatNav etc) and still it runs really well, on a full charge using the XDAII for various functions I get a good two days use where as in the past I would have to charge the XDAII again after a days use. I think for me WiFi is the major improvement as I can now use my WiFi card without worrying about the battery going dead.

Okay someone asked about the extendedrom.rar file I posted and how to use it (sorry, been away on work).

You first need to download the er2003Edit program which is available from the WiKi section of this forum (I will post a link and the patch shortly). Using this program open up the ms_.nbf file, you will now be able to edit the ExtendedROM file and replace the boot screen bitmaps and add/remove the various apps in the ExtendedROM file. The ExtendedROM rar file I posted needs to be unpacked with WinRAR or similar and the files need to be saved in a folder - you can then add the files to your ExtendedROM file (ms_.nbf).

The upgrade I posted already has the correct ExtendedROM so you should be okay to use that and you will not need to use the ExtendedROM.rar archive, its only there if someone wants to edit their own ExtendedROM file.

Cheers,

Godz

Re: Finalzero ur the MAN

Eid Mubarak bro,

If I can get a hold of the MediaPlayer 10 CAB file then I will put it in but I am not sure if it will work straight off as I suspect their may be changes in v2.20 that allow MediaPlayer 10 to work - who knows, until I get it I won't know.

Anyone interested in a rock solid stable version try Sin's new release which is a merged version of 2.02 and 2.06, I installed Sin's upgrade to a friends UK O2 and it worked great. I have also uploaded the MS BT Upgrade I found which seems to resolve 99% of the BT related issues.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] nargalzius:
Re: Is there any actual reason to upgrade ?

AS far as performance goes, I think there's no change - its still as fast as the older ROM

Native landscape mode for me is a very valid "productivity" gain, especially when trying to read PDFs - cuz reading a PDF on portrait orientation with big(ish) fonts require a lot of scrolling, which really sucks when you're reading something LONG. And being able to change the font size globally without a hack is also a biggie.

The radio rom is definitely faster, after a reboot, as soon as I see my "desktop" the connection to the carrier is almost instantaneous.

I hear the battery life has improved dramatically (like the diff when you connect a WiFi card to it... I just hope that improvement extends to BT), but I haven't verified this myself... as I just performed the upgrade

--------------------------------

Anyways for my question, I installed Sin's distribution of the upgrade, and everything's working smoothly, but I've experienced some issues that have been mentioned in his readme (hangs on reboot) which can be cured by another soft reset.

It's not really a big problem, but I was going to ask if this release uses the same RADIO and OS ROM as Sin's. I opened the files using er2003edit and the radio and os ROM seem to be EXACTLY the same, checksum and all.

I ask this since I'm trying to determine whether its the extROM that's causing these issues, or if I have to try reupgrading to this particular release and see if it solves the issues.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] visionhu:
eFiend, the way I succeeded with my MDAII:

1. download finalzero's SE upgrade (somewhere on the 26th or 27th page of this topic :roll: ) THX ZERO YOU'RE GREAT!!

2. download DCS's operator ID updater. First page on this topic. RESPECT DCS!!

Get yourself a coffee and catch this:

1. Unpack the Finalzero edition SE into a folder. The files are set to operator O2 and language WWE. You need to change only the operator ID in the *.nbf files.

2. Copy DCS's operator ID updater program here. Unzip. Open command prompt. If you need CDL operatator type in the command line: OperatorUpdate CDL. You have changed the operator IDs in the *.nbf files. Thats all.

All you need now is patience and a bit of luck, turn off your screensaver and all energy saving bull**it on your PC, and follow the steps written in the text file... Thats all.

Have fun!!
