@ isahchan

In other words, have you followed the instructions on how to flash a BA? I have gotten the blank screen before (with no version numbers), but just like Chef, I hvae been able to flash without an issue. Also, what do you mean that the nbf files are no longer included? Isn't the nk.nbf the rom itself or am I missing something? As long as that file is in the same folder as the maupgradeut_noID you should be in good shape.

One thing that always works for me is to stop, think back, read, and then try to repeat the process. You could try to hard reset your phone prior to upgrading and make sure that you do not have a SD card while you are doing the upgrade.

Hope this helps you...

OMG!

Dude that files are... the OS and the radio how could in the rru arent that files... Lemme do something for you....

Wait i will try to make some packages ready to click on them... :rolleyes:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Ok lets clarify some points here....

Isa-chan... this is +Que-kun :D

Lets teach you what is a RUU and how it works:

When you see a new rom release from a chef.... He always post a link to download it and then uncompress it to anywhere in your XP PC and upgrade your Blueangel... This file you download is A RUU Tool, what does RUU means?

ROM Update Utility... that means RUU sooooo... when you extract that file you will get a folder, inside that folder you will find at least 6 or 7 files but the most important are....

MAUpgrateUtility_NOID... But my device is a Blueangel not a Magician!!! well dude... older devices and old times... creates some issues at the time you need to upgrade the ID country... this RUU has been patched to not read that info and jumps it direct you to the upgrade step... nice isnt it?

NK.NBF... this is your New ROM it must be in the same folder where the Maupgrade is, so we have many more files that the RUU needs to work...

Some times you could find many other files like ms.nbf wich is the extended rom not needed in the upgrades anymore and some others...

So if i understand sooo good your problem, is that when your RUU takes you to the part in the button on the middle says upgrade... it has some lines empty and the procedure just says Congrats you have bla bla bla!!!!!!

Bull**** it doesnt happen nothing!!! well... the info of the new rom hasnt been readable by the RUU tool so you must to try again with another RUU folder check my post again HELMI RUU SUN dream RUU (this ruu hast two ruu utlities BAupgrade and MAupgrade, for me this works almost all the times)

Check this.

this happends to you

You must to understand this...

I upload the package you need man..... so download it...

http://cid-f13430056005795d.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/HTC/Blue Angel/xplode23004.rar

Again...

is your batt full?

is your PC a Windows XP?

unplug the sim and the sd cards from the phone!

Dont run anything in upgrade process and close the most you can before do it!!!

chack your usb cable maybe is broken!

Hope i can help you now...

hey guys, I want you all to know that I'm finally able to upgrade! Thank you for all your help :)

oh yeah, I have a few questions:

R: 1.12.00

Build 21202.5.0.0 WWE by xplode

first, how do I change my radio to the latest one? I've tried copying the nbf file of 1.15.00 in the same folder, but it won't work.

second, it says that this latest build will expire within 7 days. Should I upgrade again? Is there a way for me to use an OS that isn't in beta form? you know, something permanent?

thanks guys :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] + Que PPC:
I set in the package the radio too

So try my package dude it has the last radio rom 1.15

Really i dont know why you get the timebomb warning... we all dont get that warning... :confused: try to do this....

try Downgrade again to wm2003 do the unlock of the extended rom resize it and that things... then upgrade again with the pacakge i give you two posts before.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
i don't get it. in every possible way it could mean, i don't have that warning, and i don't understand why you get it. but que ppc's idea is good. downgrading and extending the storage space in generally a good idea, if now, your memory shows something like 44mb, you should definitely downgrade and resize the storage, because it would mean, you still carry around your old wm2003 extrom of 16mb, which is just dead space right now, and can, under some circumstances prevent you from installing an sd card extrom, and also maybe causes this strange issue.

but maybe you can live without the 16mb more storage space (for some reason) and just forgot to hard reset after upgrading.

for the extrom unlocking, have a look here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade1_WM2003SE0

for the correct way to perform a hard reset, have a look here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_HardReset

too bad, i thought i could find the picture instructions for a hard reset in the wiki, they would be helpful for a lot of newbies, whom i try to explain how to upgrade

USB Connection error

Hi All,

This forum was very helpful for me upgrading my XDA IIs from 2003 CE to Windows Mobile 6.5 but since i've done that, i'm coming across an issue when i connect my XDA (through cradle) on my laptop USB port. It is coming up with error (on XDA) "cannot open the connection '`usb'. this connection is no longer valid or does not exist. select a different connection and try again"

I honestly am stuffed here. Would appreciate if someone can give me a solution to this. Many thanks in advance
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
A simple solution usually is to change the USB port through which you are connecting the cradle. Try this and see if it works. If not, you can always try to reinstall Active Sync (make sure you get 4.5)

Good luck!

hi, everything's okay but i am having problems with windows media player. Usually if there are a lot of songs and I just clicked one, the next one would just play automatically. But..now after clicking a song and the next song is supposed to be playing automatically, it won't play. It just says "playing" but it's not really. Thus, I have to click each song manually. By the way, the songs that I have are already in the Media Library. how do I resolve this? :(

Volume sound

Hello

Maybe this is a dumb question?

Since i upgrade to the following rom (HTC-BlueAngel21189WWE,X5-aku 5.0.60),from wm2003,

the buttton that i'd use to control the volume no longer work, and i can't find a way to do so.

I tried in the upper icon near the clock but it doesn't work. The same for the comunications icon on the left of the speaker one.

Thank you in advance for your help.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
no offense but it was generally not the best idea to upgrade to 21189 because that rom is quite outdated and has still beta status and has an expiration date which would actually be the first of july. you will not enjoy this rom for long then. if you want a classic wm6.5 rom to last a wee bit longer, try 21202 or have a go with the newer ones, 21925 or 23004

OK, I know about searching, I have tried lots of searches, and found some information, but everything I have tried there has not worked. Also, I have tried searching this thread for "o2 mms" and nothing has come up, I dunno if it is because the words aren't long enough or because there isn't anything... But here is my phone setup and then my problem:

O2 XDA IIs

xplode's Windows MObile 6.5 23004

o2 simplicity contract

My Work Connection settings:

O2 Active / Cellular Line (GPRS) / wap.o2.co.uk / o2wap / password / server assigned / server assigned

The proxy settings:

This network connects to the Internet is checked

This network uses a proxy sever to connect to the Internet is checked

Secure WAP: 192.113.200.195:9203

Socks (4): 192.113.200.195:1080

Last night, a friend of mine sent me an MMS, and I had installed arcsoft MMS v5.0.70.24, but didn't know about the MMS settings options (first mms I have ever got!) and so tried to download it, this didn't work.

I scouted about and got various settings, telling me about my WAP and My Work Connection settings, which I edited (adding proxy, socks etc) and tried again, but each time I had to reset my device because after clicking download on the MMS message detail screen, it greys out so I can't click again.

Having checked various sources I think all my settings above are correct, these are the current settings in MMS Options:

Allow read report is unchecked

Disconnect from network after sending/receiving messages is unchecked

Retrieval Mode is Auto

Photo Resolution is Original

Nothing on Blacklist

Servers: O2 MMS:

Server name: O2 MMS

Gateway: 193.113.200.195

Port Number: 9201

Server Address: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002

Connect Via: My Work Network

Send Limit: 300K

Currently when I try and downlod it connects to my o2 active, then gives me the downloading symbol on the task bar, if I click this is shows me downloading status, From ..... Downloaded 0% - after a few seconds this changes to 1% and then after another few seconds this closes and I can't attempt to download the picture any more.

I have tried a couple of other versions of Arcsoft MMS, but tey either do the same or nothing :(

Help me please!

I'm wondering if I should upgrade my WM2003 version to a more modern WM5, WM6.1, or WM6.5. The device was originally for Cingular but I unlocked it to work with T-Mobile USA.

Anyone care to comment as to what baked good has what or a link to where I can make comparisons (a chart)?

Hi, over a year ago i upgraded my WM 2003 PH20B device to Helmi's WM6, the ROM version is 5.60.00 WWE, Radio 1.12.00.

It's worked well, a bit slow at times, but I am happy with it. I had then opted not to resize the extrom in case I had to revert back to the original WM2003.

Now I'd like to upgrade to the latest WM6.5 & have the following questions:

-Can I upgrade my installation? The online wizard mentions upgrades from WM2003 and WM5 but not WM6 (see step http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade1)

-I would like to reclaim the extrom space, since I don't see myself going back to 2003, is there a risk of SIM locking my device if I do so? (I already have the original WM2003SE O2 ROM's)

-What happens to the extrom if I go WM6->WM6.5?

-I see the current WM6.5 releases are a beta, will this expire? If so, it would make sense I wait till the final version is out.

May I also take this chance to say a Thank You to Helmi, xplod & sun_dream all for the excellent work you have put in over the years.

Cheers,

dtd
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
the wiki only talks about wm5 because it is always implied that wm5 and above are practically the same, at least concerning the upgrade process.

about the extrom resizing: the extrom, as explained in the wiki, is just a collection of cabs and customizations for your device, like a dialer skin, a wallpaper or any program. since that has absolutely nothing to do with a sim card, there is completely no risk of sim locking the device.

What happens to the extrom if I go WM6->WM6.5?

nothing happens, at the moment you are having 16mb of unusable space in your device, carrying cab files from and for wm2003, some crap, o2 thought would be useful and as annoying as possible back in the day. there is no way to use that extrom from any system but wm2003. by resizing the extrom you gain more space and you can then put an extrom matching your future rom on an sd card and install programs from there.

I see the current WM6.5 releases are a beta, will this expire? If so, it would make sense I wait till the final version is out.

there were problems with expiring roms before, like build 21198, but beginning with 21202 there are no expiring builds anymore, at least there is no expiration date known. and even if there was, what would be the problem? then you just take another rom again, you would get a 30 days heads up which is more than enough time to get a working rom.

having all that cleared and the extrom resized, all you need to do is download a wm6.5 rom of your choice, put it in your RUU folder (containing maupgradeut_noid), put your device in bootloader mode, start the upgrade and afterwards, perform a hard reset by pressing power+reset, camera+record. and yyour upgrade is done.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
after downloading your shipped rom from your carrier for your country, you probably have a large exe file, you can extract that, using 7zip, winrar or something comparable, and inside you will find a normal RUU (rom upgrade utility) with baupgrade.exe getdevicedata and so on. that also contains the original extrom file ms_.nbf which then you can flash with MAupgradeut_noID. i don't know which step exactly in the downgrading process that would be since i never really downgraded, but it should work though.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] dudethedevil:
Chef Tony, the ms_.nbf was there in the original ROM as you had said.

I'm now on xplode's R7.1 WM 6.5 :-) It's nice to have so much free memory & the phone seems much more responsive.

It seems that you have a bad flash. Did you unlock and resize the ExtRom before making the upgrade to WM6?

yes you can get rid of the starmenu honeycomb grid scene with the quickmenu 2.8 but the one that utaker edit... just search in the tool "Quickmenu instead honeycomb" and will get it...

This is a way to disable the lock screen too... ;)

There is a way to get back the old 6.1 start menu + programs and settings screens... but it eats lots of RAM.... some 15mb just ask to the chefs to mix in the sys the shell and some other modules. maybe the blueangel can handle this... but whats the point on have 6.5 without its new improvements and changes...? hahaha

think about it... ;)

How to install WM6.5 ROM on BA

Hi!

I hope, it is o.k. to post this question here (as I was not able to find the answer in all those many threads with hundreds of pages):

I have a BA (actually an MDA3 from T-Mobile) and I would like to install WM6.5 on it.

I downloaded "BA21928wwe.rar" (or should I better use another build?) containing the files "nk.nbf", "RUU.conf", "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe", "RUU.dll", "GetDeviceData.exe" and "EnterBL.exe".

Which steps do I now have to perform in order to install it on my PDA?

hey egzthunder1, glad to see you back, had a lot of work here, being the only one to answer the new members' questions. ;)

believe me, you are not the first one, to not know, what to do in that situation, that is why there is a wiki, and there are specific instructions for upgrading, that you have to follow step by step and then you'll get to where you want to go, the first steps might seem odd to you and many instructions might sound weird at first, but it all makes sense and has been followed succefully hundreds of times, so believe me, when i say, don't skip any steps. i can't write that often enough.

here you are, the link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardMain

and don't get confused, whatever is said about wm5 or wm6, that is also valid for 6.1 or 6.5.

and maybe this might help you as well:

Thanks to Thunder and Que for the suggestions. Currently I am using a different frontend, SPB Shell which seems to give me a decent amount of customization (though I always wish it allowed for more).

Because of this I don't see the "Start" menu quite as much, but occcasionally I will be able to tap "through" beneath some screens, particularly when the device is acting sluggishly, - and end up locking the device even if the Start Menu screen wasn't even being displayed.

I'd still like to disable the lock feature and have done a lot of searches on the subject but only come up with people trying to disable the automatic activation of the lock and not the complete removal of the soft button and function itself. I guess screen decalibration on a locked device isn't something that has happened to very many people yet. Once WM 6.5 devices start having wear and tear on them in future months that may change.
