I've read through a few threads/posts and think I've figured out what I need to do. Would appreciate someone telling me I'm on the right track.
What I've got:
UK T-Mobile MDA Compact
ROM 1.01.00 WWE
Radio 1.00.10
Ext ROM 1.01.128 WWE
What I want to do:
Upgrade to latest, safest ROM without destroying GPRS and other connectivity (or anything really)
Not end up with a doorstop
Upgrade using USB
What I've downloaded:
WWE_11200_128_11210_ship (seems a nice safe ROM)
What I'm going to do:
- connect via USB
- connect power (or is the USB power ok by itself?)
- run the exe file
- watch it upgrade....
So - is that it? Or do I still have to do all the other things (overwriting bytes, extracting, etc, etc).
And will T-Mobile still talk to me....? Or more to the point - can I restore the existing ROM (I think there's a ROM backup utility on the FTP site)?
Thanks in advance (and try not to mutter 'dumb newbie' too often).
Cheers
Andrew

You can login using a ftp-client program like cuteftp or something like that. With the following settings:
server: xda-developers.com
user xda
password: xda
port: 21
Or you can login using a FTP-capable browser like IExplorer. Then u use:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/
Hope this helps...

Sadly it didn't
When I tried the using the browser I got this;

FTP Folder Error
Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder.
Details:
The FTP session was terminated
OK
:?:
You've got to give more info on your situation. What browser are you using? Dit you type "ftp://xda:[email protected]" instead of "ftp://xda-....." ? Do you use a firewall (from windows)? etc. etc.
It's not a problem of the server. It's up. I logged in using IExplorer just a minute ago.
If nothing works, just use a ftp-client.

I just clicked on the links shown in this thread. Haven't typed anything!
I have problems with the FTP also.
I can access it with FlashFXP but I cannot download anything.
It will stop after 108kb...
The server is a little bit slow sometimes (this is the best place for all the xda stuff :wink: )
Connection problems can occur when u use a router for your internet connection. If so, make sure you open and forward the ports (21 and 20 ) for FTP to your PC in the router management. Make also sure that your firewall opens these ports.
Furthermore it's better to enter the settings manually in the FTP-client program.
Here are the settings for CuteFTP Home...

This thread appears to have become a 'how to access the ftp site'.
I am also trying to put together in my head at least the best way to upgrade my rom, which is more or less the same as yours!
I did manage to down load the lastest rom and unpacked it, but which exe file are you talking about?
The method that seem to stick for me, is to copy the nb1 file on to a sd card, going to boot mode, etc, etc.
But I am worried about do something to my sd card in the process!
Hmm lads, lets all get back on track I have covered this in previous posts
I recently upgraded a colleagues MDA compact (an untouched TMobile 101 build) with the 112_172 build its actually the Orange MDA build from Holland. But very good.
Bear in mind keep your programs that you installed handy as you will need to re-install them .
- Extract the shipped ROM.exe files to a folder for instance MDA112, this will leave 6-8 files in the folder with radio.nb1 etc. This can be done by WinRAR or WinZip
- Connect to ftp site ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/
- Copy the MA_upgrade_NoID file from the ftp site (Tools folder) to the MDA folder on your PC/Laptop
- Plug in USB connector to MDA
- Backup your relevant contacts etc
- Disable ActiveSync USB connections
- Go to bootloader mode Camera-Power-SoftReset All 3 actions together, USB will be displayed , very faint, on the MDA screen
- VERY important: Run the MDA UpgradeNOID.exe file(this will ignore country code errors that you will receive normally) in the MDA folder you created and deposited the extracted files from the ROM image
- wait 20-30 minutes and
- hey presto you have a new ROM on the MDA.
- re-enable ActiveSync USB connections
You should be done
i am getting all kind of annoying messages about ruu dll not found...what is this and where do i find it?
solved but now i have the rom upgrade utility error 150...
anyone ?
I too am getting the "rom upgrade utility error 150" after carefully following the instructions for upgarding a T-mobile phone from the same ROM version.
I am wondering whether it is necessary to follow some kind of installation path? What I mean is, maybe it is not possible to jump from the shipped ROM (1.01) to the latest version.
Might need to stagger the upgade?
Did yourworldanywhere have any luck with his upgrade, cos that was the exact same install that I am trying.
Cheers

Hi Folks,
first thanks for the new rom. Here my experiences/questions.
First of all, the installation went quite smooth.
I am experiencing the following problems:
1) when starting the device I get the message the file screenrotate.exe cannot be opended. Ehter it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. Same for sms_alert_fix.exe
2) phone link at the left bottom of the screen results in Shortcut Target Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename
3) active sync with sbs2003 exchange and own certification authority results in The security certificate on the server is invalid. Contact you exchange server administrator or isp to install a valid vertificate on the server Support code: 0x0072F0D. I have downloaded the CA certificate as a file certnew.cer, copied it over to WM2005 and installed it. It is availiable under settings - certificates - root
4) Start - programs is has corrupted programs IA Album, IA Camera, xBackup
Any ideas how to work on these problems?
Tnx
What is the exactly name of the rom file you have downloaded to flash your device ?
XDA2_WM2k5_1.70a.96.WWE.zip ??? if this , it is a corrupted rom ...
try to flash http://tofclock33.free.fr/rom/Wm2k5_170.zip
Downloaded your link and still the same.....
OK, my mistake.
Did not read the installation instruction up to the end.
after modifying the boot options it appears that point 1,2 and 4 are solved.
But there is still the active sync problem.
OK, my mistake.

But there is still the active sync problem.
Changed HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 from 128 to 144
My Domain runs its own CA. So I went to
http://<certserver>/certsrv and downloaded "Download CA certificate", copied it over to XDA and doubleclicked on it.
I can see it now in the certificates
If I manually go to OWA using internet explorer I receive the message "The certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust"
How can I trust it?
XDA2_WM2k5_1.70a.96.WWE.zip ??? if this , it is a corrupted rom ...
I have used the above file from day 1 and it was not corrupt!!!
OK, sorted out my last issue as well.
Besides installing the CA-Certificate I needed to install the Server Certificate as well.
This could be done by opening MMC, adding the Certificates snapin for local machine and exporting under personal certificates the servers certificate.
Copy the export to MMC and doubleclick on it. That's it.
i installed the wm2k5_170.zip
but have problems..
when trying to install any program..
most of the programs needs to be installed to local, but it seems i have 6 mb memory after installing the rom..
i have 32 mb storage memory and 1gb sdram.. but for example pocket plus wants to install itself to device memory.. and when trys to install it says that i dont have enough space..
A slightly strange ugrade problem
TofClock - thanks for the 1.65 and 1.70 upgrades. I've had a weird problem that's stopped me performing the upgrade. I thought I'd ask if it's something specific to your upgrades or some other problem:
I've got Buzz's 1.60c.00 with his 96Mb RAM disk on my Humalaya and it works like a charm. However, when I tried the 1.65 and 1.70 upgrades HimaUpgradeUt.exe failed both times with Error 101 - connection error. But my Himalaya IS securely in its cradle and seems to be communicating properly with the PC: ActiveSync, for example, seems to work perfectly.
The cradle is connected directly to a USB port on my PC and not through a hub, so I'm at a loss what's causing the problem.
Has anyone else had the same experience?
I have got
rom version: 2.06.00WWE
Rom date: 06/14/04
radio version: 1.18.00
protocol version: 1337.38
extended ROM version: xda2jopjo.v3.2zs
When upgraded to xda2jopjo.v3.2zs I had no problems. When I loaded xda2jopjo.v3.2zs it did tell me the all the information under "your Pocket PC software is about update from:", and then it loaded properly. However, with every version of 2005 it gives me none of the information on what I am updating from, and the only information he gives me I'm updating to is "ce image version: 1.70a.96.
And when I click on the upgrade button anyway it does try to upgrade, there is even some activity on the xda, but every time after about 10 minutes it tells me "the current software is now being erased from your PC", it tries a little longer and then tells me "there has been a problem while updating your pocket PC software. To continue the update please:
1 disconnect your Pocket PC and the USB cradle.
2 preform a normal reset by pressing the reset button as picture left show.
3 reconnect your Pocket PC and the USB cradle and run this pocket PC software update program again.
I've tried this several times, but it hasn't worked.
Can anybody help?

Hi All,
I've successfully upgraded my O2 XDA II to WM5 1.65b.96WWE. Now I have
14MB Storage
88.33MB Program
31.96 Storage Card - Storage
The 14MB Storage is easy to fill up. Searching for the posts, I find that the ExtROM can be used to increase 14MB Storage. Is it true? Will it affect the Radio ROM?
I download the ExtROMUnlocker(for_WM2005_only).cab. Install it, run the ExtROM Unhide -> OK, then ExtROM Unlock -> Fails.
The ExtROM Unlock gives the error "The file 'unlockextrom' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificiate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
I tried to re-install but I get no luck. Would somebody help me please?
Regards,
kwy
Go to www.buzzdev.net and search the forums for the "DoC tool". this can be used to release the extra memory for use.
