you don't have to turn the phone on.

if the program detected your mobile than it's ready for the upgrade.

put the rom file to the root folder (C:/) of your pc if it's not there and try to flash so.

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Win_XP:
Turn phone off, and remove the battery for a couple of hours, then picked up and connect it to pc in flash mode and flash it :)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] speedking:
YES!! ITS WORKING!!!

i have to notice that: after the flash finished,i didn't took out the battery from the phone and also i didn't formated the sd!!i working as before with all my contacts,sms etc!!!

wow! nice update...

but could you please use the "best" radio ROM on this?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bara_too:
here is all the radio from win_xp! it depends on your local network which radio is best so just test them out you decide!

All in one package: Radio 0.84, 0.92, 1.00

thanks! i already dl'ed it i think months ago...
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] kili:
Isn't it like by the WM5 Roms, where you had to leave the SD Card in the Phone, because a part from the roms were written on the SD Card? Is the WM 6.1 rom now smaller than the WM5 rom, which had 3 parts?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bara_too:
the rom is an internal flash, if im not mistaken mpx200 has 32mb of rom! wm5 was a 3 part file with different method of flashing which contain (bootloader, radio, and OS) which is still less than or equal to the flash rom of the device. recent roms are now joined into one file. the sd card is needed only as an additional storage. you dont need the sd when you flash the device. you only need it prior to hard reset and formating for the 1st time!

i believe the rom image is compressed and thats why you need more additional storage to handle the uncompressed files. i did dump a wm6 rom from mpx200 and was less than 32mb, when uncompress to an editable files (images, sounds, registry etc.), it is more than twice the size from the original dump (compress).

this is just what i understand from reading, if im wrong please correct me.......
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] kili:
i flashed a wm05 on my wizard about 1 or 2 years ago. and after that, the device was ready for the trash. by motorola the told me, that the memory in the phone was defect. i don't know, but was it from flashing?

And can someone put a completely instruction to the first page?

Is everything working with this rom correctly, like a wm2002 rom?

When will come the new release with fixed IR?

Would you say, if i could flash my rom to wm2003 so that i'm able to flash my phone to wm6.1? or is there a big different?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bara_too:
as along as you can still connect ur phone with Motorola Upgrade Wizard i think your phone will still work. dont forget to master reset after flashing. if you dont, the phone will not boot! flashing is very straight forward:

make sure to fully charge the battery first

install the wiz

run the wiz

follow instruction from the wiz (windows will detect new found device when connecting your device for the very first time and you should install the driver SMARTPHONE.INF)

after the flashing when the wizard is done, unplug cable and battery

re-insert battery and sd card

perform a master reset (hold blue center button while powering the device)

change the 2nd and 3rd settings to YES!!! use dpad (up/down) and center blue button (no/yes) then DONE!!!

it will change to a white screen!!! wait till finish and ur done
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] empex:
If you have an MPx200 then you are able to flash it to 6.1 ;-)

Just follow the instructions of the Upgrade Wizard and as bara_too said above and you will have your phone with 6.1. Then you will see that it's way faster and better then wm2002 or 2003.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] kili:
is a sd card necesary? because there stands:

"re-insert battery and sd card"

or do it work without memory card?

i hope, this is my last question^^

btw: is the cpu overclocked?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Win_XP:
Yes you need a memory card, and cpu is overclocked @ 138 Mhz :) If you wanna change the speed in Windows dir on the phone is OmapClock.exe simply create a shortcut in start menu and use it :)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] ppaajjaa:
to Win_XP: I think the adding Total Commander to ROM isn't good idea. Not everyone uses TC. When a new version appears, will you update ROM? Of course not. ROM should be clean not messed up with non ROM applications. Everybody can install their own favourite application.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Win_XP:
First, I'm using total commander, one big advantage - virrtual two window mode, for smartphones this is very usefull, second I have real life and work and don't have much free time, tommorow i think may be cook it at work, and final if you don't like it cook it by yourself - simply :)

I was update it on 12 may, but after major tests it have an IR crash and remove the link.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] garbol:
i guess it's easy to overwrite the files in the \Windows folder rather than not having it when you need it...
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] 00sand00:
thank you for this rom

fastest, best rom that ever was on my mpx200
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] islandmonk:
best ENG rom for mpx200 so far.

but if you change the background image, you will notice a visual mistake between iconbar and chome.

if you choose the blue background image the mistake can be seen, with a photo as background image you will notice a doubling of the first lines on top of the screen. that mistake wasn't in RUS version.

copy CHome_240x320.cpr from the rus rom in your mobiles windows folder: works!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dakiro:
mpx 200 wm6.1

That is one great phone, I loved th buttons and the size. It was just about perfect for my hand. Now I have StarTrek and I miss the moto-baby. The buttons especially... and how you could cradle it in your arms... I mean palm.

Don't have it anymore but it was great.

If only there was something similar now (not mpx220) with faster processor, more memory and better connection options... I would buy it right away.

Congrats for this cooking
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bara_too:
can you please attached it here.........
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Win_XP:
Ready for download at first post, IR problem is still here, added CHome_240x320.cpr from AND's rom, new media player skins, clean registry, and some little modifications :)

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] vladiXX:

sad to say that ur SD card is broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! use a working one...........
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] MisterLangbroek:
Hi, I have flashed my MPX200 and did the blue button and , yes yes thing. My screen stays white, until battery is gone. If I start my phone, It will hang at the Hellomoto screen. What am I doing wrong? I flashed with the Upgrade Wizard V1.2. How long does the white sceen normally stays white? I have a sandisk 1 GB card inside Thanks for your help!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] 00sand00:
white screen and booting after starting hard reset can take long time (even hour)

think it depends on sd card speed among other things...

after white screen soe picture will appear and stay on screen for some time (1GB card if slow 10-20 min)

on mine 256MB around 20 mins
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] birdibird:
yes, it can take long.

Just be patience and plug in the powercable

:p
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] MisterLangbroek:
Hi, thanks for the answers. At the moment my phone is about 2,5 hours busy doing the white screen, and not ready yet. What will happens after the white screen?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] 00sand00:
you'll see some logo (motorola) or win61 custom picture from ROM and then wait for a while :)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Win_XP:
Some MPx200 phones don't working with WM5/6/6.1 if your phone not work with WM5, there is no hope :) it is hardware based problem (memory chip).
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] MisterLangbroek:
After a long time my screen will be closed. If I try to start my phone, it hangs on the hellomoto logo.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] birdibird:
try another sd card

or try the same one, but first format it with your pc to the FAT system instead of FAT32. then reinsert it into the phone and reboot again with the blue centrebutton. choose clean reg hive, but NOT choose format storage.

good luck/succes

ps

I remember that the first time I flashed wm2003 I had similar problems to yours. Sometimes recharging the phone fully (do this while the phone is off, until it buzzes 3 times. then take the plug out and back in and charge again) helps.

afterwards flash the firmware again and connect your phone again to the power when you hardreset it.

With me that helped and with later flashes of wm5 and 6 and 6.1 I had no problems whatsoever anymore.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] 00sand00:
phone must bu fully charged before flashing
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] MisterLangbroek:
Is flashing the phone and sd card, or only on the sd card? In that case I can place a good diskimage on my sd card.

When I am home I try your suggestions.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] alangordon73:
Hi, I cant seem to be able to download the ROM from the Rapidshare site - It says an error has occured and resets the countdown timer or it says I am already downloading another file - which I'm not! Is there another source from which I can download the ROM as this is driving me nuts? I'm desperate to get my hands on this as I'm flat fed up with WM2003 and I've had nothing but issues with keeping my mpx200 alive on WM2005.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] MisterLangbroek:
Well, I guess I am having that phone.. Back to WM2003:(

How-to extract XIP files

I am trying to learn how to extract/add/remove files from the MPX200 rom image. So far I can do this for the IMGFS (part2) of the rom.

How do I extract the files from the XIP (part1)???

I tried using XIPPORT on part1 (renaming it to xip.bin)... but I just get the NK.exe without anything else???

Which tool(s) should I use and how to get the files from XIP??

Thanks.

PS: Great job creating the WM6.1 rom!!!!

Edit:

Managed to extract files from XIP using ROMMASTER en XIPPORT. How do I put it back in the image???
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] jusse:
Hello! had been installed WM6.1 for a while.

But I have some problems, the sistem is slower tan WM03, I note that when I enter in menu or to accede to some programs. This can be due that to my card SD must be slow? I have been having it for years.

What speed for reading recommends to have fluid rom? :confused:

Also I have a MicroSD memory (with an adapter to SD) which speed is 8mb/s for reading. With the adapter the speed would be same? The system will be fluid?

The last, I have problems when synchronizing with Activesync, it often has does not synchronize and when it synchronizes it disconnects soon after. Why?

Thank you very much! :D
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bara_too:
- im using a Ridata x66 SD formatted to fat and i dont have any major problems! try to format your sd to fat! make sure to backup the contents to your pc first!

- try your microsd and let us know how well it handles!

- use ActiveSync 4.5
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] jusse:
thanks for the response!

Im using activesync 4.5 actually.

In otherwise, how can I format the SD to FAT? and formating in FAT 16 or FAT 32?

thanks!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] empex:
put your microSD in a card reader and attach it to your computer. run file explorer on the PC, then right mouse click on the memory card and choose "Format". In the "file system" line the first option is FAT. Click on that and start formatting.

My card is 128 MB SD formatted to FAT and works very fast without any problems.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] empex:
Hi, bara_too!

I'm really interested in your weather panel tricks;-)

Could you please post the "How-to"?

Thanks

empex
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bara_too:
oh i forgot about this, sorry!

i did not make this app, this app was made specifically for the excalibur by OrganicM. however, i did some tweaking with the help of OrganicM so that it will fit to our small screened mpx! download from sendspace the zip with the cab inside and install it!

http://www.sendspace.com/file/cigula - once this is installed you'll be surprise at your new screen including the external lcd clock! don't worry that's why i attached my edited files below!

below are files i edited with the help of Organic to look like whats on my current home screen. i use a different clock font now.

heres what i did: (after you've installed the weather cab)

1. navigate to your programs and open Weather Options. highlight Layout Options > Slim Panels choose 3 and hit OK then Y hit OK and it will reboot!

2. make a backup of CHome_240x320.cpr from windows dir just in case! copy my CHome_240x320.cpr to the windows directory of the mpx overwriting the original.

3. copy also SlidingPanel.home.xml to /Application Data/Home overwriting the original.

4. For the FONTS is a bit tricky because activesync explorer will not allow to paste to the windows dir because the fonts are currently used by the phone! if u have a card reader, copy the 2 fonts to the windows directory! if you have no card reader, use WM5Storage and do the same! (it might freeze after you deactivate it, just reboot manually)

5. Finally after the reboot go to Settings then Home Screen and choose Sliding Panel + Weather! for the home screen layout and your done!

you now have to configure the Weather Options like for your Location etc........ go here to know your location id http://weather.yahoo.com/ after you key in your city or zip code and redirected to the weather information in your area, look at the browser's address bar and locate your id something like /RPXX0007.html - where RPXX0007 is your location id.

just connect your mpx to activesync (assuming your already connected to the Internet) and open Weather Update and done! it should update and displays your weather information! i have not tried the GPRS update since i dont use it. try it!

ps. the procedures here are specifically for the layout options i choose! if you choose different layout options, the display may be resize! in this case you have to edit the CHome_240x320.cpr on your own to make it more presentable! i haven't tried to do this since i have no spare time to play, maybe on the weekend! i could've make a cab for the additional files but i have no knowledge in building one!

thanks again to OrganicM for the wonderfull app! he is also working on a new version which has 3 and probably more day forecast which is great!

gud luck!

Let me ask one more: How can you edit cpr files?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bara_too:
Use Notepad or similar program!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] islandmonk:
hi bara_too, thank you for the weather-plugin. it works fine.

but if you change the layout after you got it already working, the high/low temperature is missing. even changing back to slim layout or removing and reinstalling the program won't help. just a hardreset and re-installing the weather-program will.

is there any solution for that? thanks in advance
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bara_too:
try to copy my attach file again i guess???????

also the weather condition display will vary on yahoo server! like in my area, when they update, sometimes it does not display the complete condition like the lo and hi, even the the picture/background are missing! check the weather condition rss feed in ur area!

Hi again!

I come back with a new question... anybody know configurates WM5torage? I don't know how.

CHome Weather 2 Final

Heads up guys! Heres hows its done on our good old MPx200!

Download link > http://www.sendspace.com/file/0f8g23

Procedure:

1. Uninstall the old version if you have one.

2. Just a precaution, make sure that CWelcomeCenter panel is active on the homescreen! Use CHome Configurator. Included on my archive.

3. Install the new version. It will ask for a reboot!

4. Configure the Weather Panel! Go down to the Weather Forecast Panel and click on Options on the right soft key. Configure it to your likings but make sure you choose (Y)es on the option Reload Home Screen (you wont have to reboot the phone anymore when choosing the layout and overwriting the cpr) For the layout option, i choose "3) Slim Panel Layout > 1 > Y".

5. Replace Chome_240x320.cpr on the \Windows directory with my edited one. Replace SlidingPanel.home.xml located on \Application Data\Home also! Copy also Weather.mscr to \Program Files\NRG\CHomeWeather overwriting the original! Choose Sliding Panel + Weather for the Home screen layout! (if you see a blank home screen after selecting it, just reboot manually) Copy my 2 font files to \Windows directory (use a card reader or WM5Storage, you know the drill)

6. Update the weather! Using Activesync (assuming you have internet connection on your pc) or GPRS! we can now use the center blue button to do this when your on the Weather Forecast Panel! you will notice that the phone will open the Dialer & turn off then on the radio. this is normal just wait for it to finish and return you to the home screen. If the Weather Forecast Panel dates is not in order, you have to delete Page10 on the registry located at "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CWelcomeCenter" Done! (i hope i did not forgot anything)

Credits goes to OrganicM for making the application!

tip: for the the battery setting picture, i only place one picture i found on the net. it does not update the picture while the battery is draining because i don't know how to do it! if you know how, please share it to us! you can download the complete icons here: http://www.deviantart.com/download/24992504/BatteryMeter.rar

p.s. go here to know your location id http://weather.yahoo.com/ after you key in your city or zip code and redirected to the weather information in your area, look at the browser's address bar and locate your id something like /RPXX0007.html - where RPXX0007 is your location id.

ZIP code is only available i think if you are from USA or CANADA! for anywhere else, use your city name or the nearest major city in your area!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] bara_too:
FIXED: scrambled dates on the weather forecast panel! Just replace the Weather.mscr located on \Program Files\NRG\CHomeWeather from the newly uploaded archive above again.
