I'm getting an "Error 120: CONTRY ID ERROR" using the techniques described in the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.15_Upgrade

using the baupgrade path and I get a different error (this software isn't for use with your device) using the maupgrade path.

I'm trying the fix suggested in the wiki (adding [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 to the ruu.conf file) but it still says the same thing.

Is this to do with my missing device info?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Mid:
I may well investigate this after I've updated the radio ROM - thanks Mideget :D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Stabilo:
In the directory with the actual rom (nk.nbf) is a readme.txt file - hopefully Helmi (& others) don't mind me posting the text

WM5 ROM Installation Instructions

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

1. Modify the operator in the ROM as needed

Open a command window and execute: SetOperator ????

- Replace ???? with your Operator Information

- i.e.: T-MOB101, or Vodafone, or O2, or ...

To get your Operator information, you will need to use GetDeviceData

Refer to the XDA-Developers Wiki for further information

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=GetDeviceData

2. Copy the NK.NBF to folder that match ur device (PH20B/PH20B)

3. Copy the entire EXTROM folder and it's contents to your Storage Card

The full path on the device should be "\Storage Card\EXTROM"

4. Put your device into Bootloader mode

Press and hold the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button

5. Now you can upgrade the ROM using BaUpgradeUt.exe / MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

6. When the upgrade is completed, you must perform a Hard Reset

Press and hold the "Power" button, and then press the Reset Button

Colored stripes (the bootscreen) will appear on the screen

If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.

* Quickly press "Record" & "Camera" before the versions appear at bottom right

* OR, press "Power" & "Camera" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time

If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66

* Quickly press "Record" & "Windows Media" before the versions appear at bottom right

* OR, press "Power" & "Windows Media" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time

Either way mentioned above should work

You'll see three options on screen. You MUST change the second and the third to "yes"

If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.

* You can do that with the "Camera" and the "Record" buttons.

If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66

* You can do that with the Windows Media" and the "Record" buttons.

When you are done, press the "Mail" button

A white screen will show for a while - just wait.

It is presently clearing your device in preparation for the new ROM to start executing

When the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, wait more, you are booting

The welcome screen to set up your device will appear shortly ...

6. Your upgraded ROM is now running!

During the first boot the CAB-files from "EXTROM" folder will be installed

Notes for modifying the EXTROM folder:

Cfg.txt contains the commands to execute after a Hard Reset. You may modify this file as you wish.

O2Auto.sa.CAB	- Installs operator auto configuration (GPRS/MMS)

MMS_Enable.CAB	- To enable MMS folder.

Profiles_WWE.cab	- Simple phone profile

SaveToSIM_WWE.CAB - Save Contact To SIM Extension

WapPushUnlock.CAB - Unlock Wap Push

DelCDetect.exe	- To delete Camere_Detect

That's all ... enjoy the ROM.

Helmi Almusalli.

hanging at wierd times!!

Hiya Helmi.. OK. Rom is installed, works great, (apart from the damn modem / DUN bit grrr...) But my problem is this..

The phone hangs every now and then.. Normally at about 5 in the morning..

My BA lives in its cradle overnight, and a couple of times now i have woken up to find the equivalent of a brick attached to my PC. normally this would not be a problem, a quick reset and everything is ok. I have tried removing the password.. I have reinstalled Activesync on another PC, I reflashed the rom, no use. Sorry i cant give you any more info, All i know is the password screen is up, and the time it gives me says exactly when it hang, but the screen and the buttons are all dead.. backlight is OFF, the active sync is running still, and it still transfers data / updates the storage card, but teh GUI doesnt respond at all.. Is it possible that the power management in the GUI part of the rom is a bit doolally? The radio doesnt work either by the way.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Can't get incomming calls

Hey all,

I just upgraded to this rom and I can't receive incomming calls. I either get the "unobtainable" tone or it goes straight to answerphone. Outgoing calls seem fine. I've checked the call forwarding settings, everything is as normal and it was fine before the flash.

I've tried the following combos with the same issue:

Helmi 1.3.2, Radio 1.13

Helmi 1.3.2, Radio 1.15

issues on my PH20B1

Thanks helmi, the rom is very fast. wifi work, BT works, GPRS works.

There is is a big issue on my PH20B1. The system sound often disappeared, but the phone sound still works. this problem can be repeated by closing Window's media player without tap the pause button. I have to do soft reset to get sound back.

further more. my BT always cannt be openned or closed until soft reset it.

When I upgraded to this rom from Ivan's, I can't go to the 3 item (No, Yes,Yes) page whatever how fast I push the record and camera buttons. I have done this setting in Ivan's rom upgrade from 2003 system. what this 3 items do? will it be a issue.

At My first time began to use Helmi's 1.3.2 Beta, the phone pad always quit after I dial 4-5 digits. So I formatted the rom by using Doc-repart. The system still there and the phone pad works.

Maybe after formatting I have lost some patches to deal with the sound problem and bT issue.

I have also tried BT stereo by using i-tech S35 BT headset, I can only have 1 second sound and then quiet, but phone sound is ok.

BTW, The wifi can't be connected after restart from standby mode unless re-open wifi.

Does anyone have the same issues? How to solve them? Thanks!

Phone hangs while charging

In earlier version of WM5-Tests I had also this problem, that while charging the phone stopped working. Sometimes the BA was heated (too much I think) in the morning when charged over night.

I'm not sure, but I think after that happend a few time, I got the problems with starting wifi (only after a softreset, but sometimes working, no logical behaviors).

I changed the mainboard and now I'm using two batteries and load them directly in the dock-station (without BA cradled). The BA is working without problems. I only have very rarely problems starting bt. But when once working after a sr it's going well. Wifi can be used without problems, but it seems, that wifi has more than one manager (Can't be started with Comm-Manager first time after sr, but then it's working. Or while wifi is on and BA will be powered off, wifi is turned off, but after a sr it's activated again. But turned off manually, it will not start itself after a sr.)

Like I wrote - my impressions. But perhaps someone experienced the same issues.

Out-of-beta?

Hello,

A question for helmi_c: do you have any future plan that might include a non-beta version :) ?

Seeing how 1.3.x BETA versions come one after the other, I'm more tempted to wait for a "final" version, rather than try the betas and possibly get "burned".

I don't fear for my data that much (I do regular backups). But if the current beta does not work ok for me (and I've been through some TuMa versions), I have to go back to 2003. And when the next version comes out, consider whether I _really_ want to go throught the whole "backup - install beta - revert to backup" process -- again.

So, any chance of releasing a version that you'd be less inclined to call a "beta", at any point in the future?

I do understand that any possible version of WM5 on BA is, in fact, very experimental, but I still gotta ask :).

Thanks,

-Daniel

i think u don't understand what i'm trying to said...what i meant to ask is what app does anybody here use to full backup everything in this ROM?cause i've doing some backups in this ROM before with spb and sprite but when i hard reset my pda,and then tried to restored it back with the backup i made before it's not working.

the process is actually working,but then when the process is almost finished...it said that there's some errors with the process.

but when i restored PIM,My documents,rings,themes,etc only it works sperfectly,so i think maybe these apps(spb,sprite) can't do full restore ROM with AKU 3.2,cause before i can do full backup and restore with previous ROM with older AKU.

Request pin code after soft/hard reset !!!

Helmi,

I find a small and old program, RestartRadio.exe.

This program switches the state of your radio: on->off or off->on.

It' s good for simulate Fly mode (LED doesn't blink!).

And if you copy this file in your PPC in \Windows\StartUp folders, after soft/hard reset, your phone starts and requires pin code.

I've tested this solution in 2 PPC Qtek 9090, and every thing was ok.

Hi Helmi

It's really fast - I think more could not be done. My BA never had that speed. Even starting WiFi goes in a speed, that the waitcursor can't be seen. Also PIE never had that speed.

Great work :-)

Wifi-Starting still big issue

On my BA I got only the problem with starting WiFi. It worked only two times, now I can not starting it again.

Are there some BAs on which such problems can occour, or has my WiFi defently gone?? Or can I apply some reg-settings which could solve the problem?

If I'm the only one with starting WiFi I will buy a WiFi-Card for the slot - or will this bring new problems (one built in an one in the slot?).

Thanks for any replys

It's looking like 16 is the optimum. There has been some benchmarks posted that show a minor reduction in speed from 32, but to be honest having the RAM would be better.
