Can't stand WM5, how to get back to W2K3??? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading

Hey there. I used this site a couple of months ago to upgrade to WM5, and it worked just fine, (only problem was sim manager was missing).
Turns out my Destinator can't run on WM5, and my primary motive for buying the xda was GPS capability, so i REALLY need to either download some software with aussie maps that will run on WM5, or revert to 2K3 and use my legit copy.
Please help =)

sorry guys.... Really need to get it back to 2003

have you tried the normal way ?

hi rudegar. thanks for the link. not sure what to do with it though? is there not a package like there was for WM5 to install? like, can I download 2k3 that will re-write itself over WM5?
i'm in way over my head here. sorry to be a pain.

grab a 2003 rom off the ftp

Thanks Mate.
What are the risks of putting the wrong rom on?
I have the stock standard 02 XDA2 (i think thats the himalaya to you guys? I'm from Oz...)
So I've gone for the Qtek 1.75 english rom which i think looks like the most likely one mine would use. Please advise... it's downloading currently.

not sure if it would accept a wrong rom at all
but it's the himalaya rom you need
and 1.75 is the latest official english rom

MAGICIAN WM5!!

yes i can conferm it is avalible. i went into "Name Censored" today and the technitian "Name Censored" has a magician branded as i mate jam. he noticed my mda compact (o2 rom) and asked what OS im runing on so i said WM2003Se and he proceeded to show me his jam running WM5 i asked him where he obtained the rom and he claimed from imate themselfs.. they have relesed the update for the jam users. but you need a jam phone to obtain this update...
anyone with a jam phone check this out and share the rom?
thanks
on the Clubimate ftp site (ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/) there is a file called:
JAM_UK_Aus_11200_171_11210.exe
dated 25/8/2005 ..... I don't know what it is especially the "Aus" acronym...
Anyone interested in trying this rom?
bye!
I am downloading right now. I will try the upgrade as soon as possible but I wouldnt get my hopes up because that would be too good to be true! I will update soon.
If the one on the imate site isnt WM5, any chance you could get him to dump it?
sorry for the multi posts there, Im not sure whats going on. I am at 29MB of the 44MB file. Yes, ask "Name Censored" to make his WM5 available for all to share9just in case)
Any word on this yet, i'm not holding up any hopes... BUT it would be nice!!!
Dahquim
i personally cannot download the file i would test it but i dont have access to imate, i have mda unlocked with o2 rom, but if the imate link isnt hte rom yes i will get a romdump from his device but acording to "Name Censored" (the cute girl whos number i got in "Name Censored") he wont be in until tuesday so we would have to hold out... thats only if the imate link isnt the rom like he claimed. although i can conferm his jam was becuae i checked the settings and version, and the genral interface.. and im not wm5 shy so its a 100% diagnosis of the OS. keep me updated on the Imate rom. if not i shal romdump from his jam. the file will be 256mb as standard though.

i have got the JAM_UK_Aus_11200_171_11210.exe on my imate jam
its a WM2003 not a WM2005
dont waste your time there is no WM2005 for the Magician
All,
Had to restart download(frikin unstable crap) but now at 75% again. Will start process asap. Will keep you informed.

I asked the online LIVE support of Imate just now, and they claimed it's NOT possible and NOT truth that they have a WM5 OS upgrade?? :shock:
Well all,
I have started it, will let you know.
If it isnt WM5, can you post the specs ofthe rom so we know how up to date it is?
Done!
Looks like...........

Bro forget about the Imate site , You have a working device that has the WM5.0, dump it and then we can try to get it from Imate. Thus, I have access to imate roms, and especially to the Jams but I don't believe it's the wm2005!!!
Here's the ROM links from Imate in which I believe they are wm2003se:

Back to WM5... possible?

Hello guys
Is reverting to an official WM5 rom possible? I've seen posts on other forums which claim that downgrading is risky... can anyone advise?
Thank you in advance!
Yes, it should go, but if you made some docx-files with office 6.1, you have to convert them ...
and you should save your PIM not with a backup tool, you should take activesync
Greetings

I have done it from WM5 to WM6. Then to compare back to WM5 and still back to WM6. And not planing to do it again.
WM6 better.
Thanks to every one involved in kooking!!!
WM6 is better how?
it has all i need.
And it looks better to!!!!!
It is more fun to try different release every week.
I softreset my O2 EXEC less then on WM5.
But it is personal taste any way.
Every one to make their own choice!
P.S. Didnt notice you like your vedeo call! Sorry.
I had video phone since they came out on 3G (2003?). But over whall time used it 3 times max.
no such problem,u can download offcial version here

Ahh.. yeah.. it looks better.. I just use wisbar to compensate for that though.
And yes, video call is very important to me.
The best way is to send a mass mail for wm6 video call for uni to HTC.

It definitely is possible to go back to WM5.
In fact, after extensive experimenting with WM6 images designed by our gurus here, I regretfully had to go back to WM5, because I use my Exec for business; it was a hard decision to make, because I liked having new Office Mobile formats on board, but the following reasons brought me back to WM5:
1) inability to get onto Wi-Fi networks.
2) inability to get certificate stored on device for Exchange push mail (easily done on WM5, may be I didn't try hard enough on Six...)
3) hang-ups during off-peak hours when trying to leave GPRS/UMTS on.
4) minor niggling interface errors.
You just get an image for your brand of Universal and load it into the device as usual.

I was thinking the same thing. It would be different if it was like 1.72 or something... especially since it's so new. But 1.27 is WAY old (and not 6.1 compatible).
-Mc
I think it was a misprint because three's TyTN is only on WM 6.0
They haven't released an upgrade.
sorry its a WM6 not WM6.1
will update wiki

Hi 3UK sim users. I have unlocked my MDA Vario III and still with original wm6.1. I can use 3uksim for ringing in and out. If I use this 3UK rom will I be able to use 3 skype and planet 3 options. Has any one tried this?

yeah im also here for the 3 skype, im slightly worried hearing about the radio though and the fact that its wm6 and not 6.1? has anyone got anything to say about the quality of the 3UK rom/radio?
i heard skype are going to be allowing all 3g handsets to use the skype free calls offer, hope this is true...
First post update needed please

Can we have an update in your first post in this thread as well then please. Unlike with a wiki where anyone can edit the page, you (or I guess a mod/admin person) are the only ones who can correct that. 3 UK users may be all excited seeing mention of WM 6.1, only to be disappointed when they find out it's still WM 6.0. FWIW I've found that as far as HTC TyTN II releases go, their WM 6.0 ROM/Radio combinations are superior so I can understand why 3UK don't have a WM 6.1 update (at least not here on xda-dev).
3 UK and Radio
Hi - I've upgrade to Win Mobile 6.1 (Shifu 13F) which works great, appart from not being able to hear or be heard in calls. Everything else works.
Radio is 1.27.15.32 (the original one I think) Is there not another radio that will work with this and other 6.1 roms? What is different about the 3 radio and others? Does this mean that those of us on 3 cannot use cooked roms?
Many thanks for the information already provided.....
Found a solution!!!!
I upgraded my radio to 1.70.18.02 and all works fine now, camera, sound and calls! Going to try it with a Win 6.5 rom soon as well!
People Its Not Hard
Hey guys im from the uk and i use 3 UK pay as you go sim in my lovely kaiser, i can access 3 planet to check my balance and free stuffs, ive got installed Dutty's 6.1 rom, it recognised sim and also changed the network settings at setup so that i could use internet and access planet 3.

i have just gotten hold of a 3 sim and i'm trying to access planet 3 services but without the certs included in the official 3 rom i am getting nowhere fast! can anyone offer some advice? do i need to decompile the 3 stock rom and rip the certs from there? any help would be appreciated! I heard mention of a cab called SDKCerts which may be exactly what i need - all i really want is the skpe installer from 3 so the data used for skype calls is free rather than being taken from my usage allowance (3 customer services have confirmed this is what will happen if i use skpe's own installer of the skype app!!!)
respect, Pete
Mirror mirror...
Can someone with the 3 UK ROM host it on a different service please. Rapidshare is never up these days, and I would like to sort my MDA Vario III into one that Planet 3/Skype likes.
The Kaiser ROM page has the same Rapidshare link

Imate Jam (charcoal -128mb) which rom?

Hi!
Anyone have my phone or similar and know which Cotulla rom I should upgrade with? I only have 2003SE and have an iPhone 3g and to be honest disappointed with it!! Will be in the market for a new smartphone/ppc soon but atm would be interested in breathing some new life into this old phone. I don't use much data (grps) but have the Sandisk Wificard which I use at hotspots, etc. English rom aswell, thanks!
Thanks very much!!
Barry
EDIT: Uggh.. just realised my Sandisk 256mb+WIFI card only works with 2003 and below!! ( Guess no way to get it working on wm6??
2nd EDIT: Doh.. just realised you can only upgrade with XP!! Any chance of Windows 2k? I have only got Vista and 2k.. I presume the reason for XP is for the ActiveSync? Thanks
These would oughta work and fills your requirements
http://www.cotulla.pp.ru/Magician1.html
Sorry bout the Vista part it seems unless you search a round abit, the USB drivers on Vista don't seem to work properly. You could try flashing on Windows 2000. It's either it will or it won't detect the phone during the RUU's detecttion procedure

Question Qtek 9100 Downgrade

Hello, this is my first post, so im not sure if this is the right place.
So... I have a qtek 9100 that i got from a cousin, he had a weird version of wm installed on it, that consumed a lot of battery and the device was always on heat (i mean it was hot). I installed an xda mobile 6 (wm6 cooked by nefraz) and i want to downgrade it to wm5 again, so i can install another OS. I am not sure about if my device is g3 or g4, i have looked up in the forum and i have seen that i could kill my device, (i didnt see that when i installed the xda mobile 6, so i guess i was lucky), now... the spl and ipl says that i got 3.08, but how this tells me if this is g3 or 4? i saw that i could see this by the number of zeros, but i saw the example only with 1xx or 2xx... not 3, im not sure about doing anything without knowing what im doing because of the killing thing xD... IN SUMMARY, how to downgrade to 1.01 since 3.08 wm6? or how i install a better version? i dont like this one, looks like vista and its pretty slow. Hehe...
Thanks (btw, sorry my english sucks)
Edit... Lol, just installed the Wm6.5 and thats it, no risk on killing (i think so) and works perfectly, thx anyway.
