Now that I have WM2005 1.70.96WWE

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?

ROM in XDA mini corrupted--HELP!!

i bought a XDA mini from ebay.when i received the device it is of german made and i am an indian.when i was trying to upgrade my ROM version,i got an error and failed to upgrade, since then it is not turning on .i tried to soft reset ,hard reset but it is fruitless.later i came to know that the software with which i tried to upgrade was for 'XDA ll'.how can i reinstall my original ROM now.moreover i noticed that something "USB v1.02" is being displayed when i connect it to the PC with USB cable and "SERIAL v1.02" when i disconnect it from the PC.
Can any one help me i have used my phone 1 month back.

Your device is now stuck in the bootloader & that's no problem. Just visit the wiki & go to the magician section. Explore it, especially the part about rom upgrading with exe method & download the 1.13WWE rom with the link on the magician main page (@ the wiki).
Then connect your magician (mini) to the usb & start the exe file (shipped-rom) you've downloaded. Now it should finish, if an error 120 comes up, use maupgradeut_noid.exe like described in the howto.
Your magician should be cured after this.

which ROM that i should use now?
and can I do it without USB cable? (copy ROM to MMC and install)
I'm living in Vietnam and use English

Welcome to XDA-developers!
Your ROM version is fine, however you may wish to upgrade to the latest 1.13 ROM + 1.13 Radio + BigStorage (by the way, BigStorage is just a way in which you can extend your measly 7MB of Storage to 27MB). However you will need a USB cable for the above method: I highly recommend to invest in one anyway, as you will find installing many programs onto your JAM difficult without one.
I think it is possible to upgrade with just a SD/MMC card and a SD/MMC reader for your computer, however it is considerably more complicated and you will not be able to back up your existing ROM, as you will need your computer to command your JAM during the backup process. You will probably need to merge two upgrading methods in order to get a USB cable-free process, something that no one else has done. Sorry I don't quite have the time for that yet, but maybe someone else can come to your aid!
Is there a technical reason you can't use a USB cable by the way?
EDIT: I forgot this: the reason why you cannot upgrade by just dumping a ROM onto the SD card and letting the JAM upgrade from that is that the ROM must be modified with some special, device unique data from your JAM first before your JAM will accept it. The normal ROM upgrade programs do this via USB by retrieving the device data from your JAM and then applying it to the ROM they are about to send to it. While there is a way to manually get this required data, that too requires a USB cable (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=231410).

Please avoid cross-posting, especially since this is the wrong forum. I can't help you anyway - different models of PDA can have very different ways of doing things.

Thanks for your help, i'll try and tell u the result.

Upgrade failed - no error message!

Hi there!
I just tried to install Cotullas WM6.1 ROM on my Magician (MDA Compact, Radio 1.12), as it didn't work on Vista I used XP. Entering bootloader mode was no problem, but on the second page of Update.exe I get an overview:
Your device software is about to update from:
[Nothing in here]
To:
[Nothing either]
However the upgrade completed on the PC without an error message, but I got no "100% Upgrade OS Image Complete" message on my device an after a reset there's still WM2003se on it.
What's the problem and how can I fix it?

seems you have no USB connection between device and PC.
you should check it. check if you see on device screen "USB\n\n\n\n\n1.0X"

Yes, the device in Bootloader mode shows "Serial v1.0.2" an when I connect it via the cable Serial changes to USB. My guess would be that Update.exe checks the wrong port. But even if the phone is not connected at all the update finishes without error.
Is Active Sync needed for an upgrade?

Where did you extracted the ROM?
Can you try to extract on the desktop and don't put in any folder and then flash the ROM.

it's on my desktop in the folder "HTCMAG_ROM_WWE_O3", copying files directly on the desktop didn't change a thing
UPDATE: Installing Active Sync solved the problem

yes you need install Active Sync for drivers.

is there previous your ROM 2.03TX?
is that TRUE meaning you couldn't upgrade to anything else! 2.03TX is bad rom!!!

It was no problem with the upgrading-process itself, it was simply that the program didn't find the phone but showed no error message. Might have something to do with a newer driver ActiveSync installed or just some registry values the update-tool needed.

Problems flashing cooked WM6 ROM

Hi all,
I am following the steps described in the forum.
I have unlock the universal and follow all the steps (i think so)
In my Universal appears the bootleader with the USB when the USB is connected and serial when not. In the PC i have unchecked the usb connection in the ActiveSync etc... But when i run in the PC the "ROMUpgradeUt" program provided with the cooked ROM package it seems that is not communicating properly with the Universal. First of all when it appers the screen that informs you about the current version of the pda and the upgrade to perform, both fields are empty, Then i click in "next" button and after a while (that informs you that the process could take 20 minutes) it appears some error regarding to the connection (i guess)...
More info: No USB HUB but Windows Xp running on wmware, but the Active Sync works perfectly on vmware.
Please could you help me ?
Thanks!

Er.....
I would first update your bootloader to: 2.01
Then i would check if your uni if connecting to the VMware copy of XP,
another opition you could do if partion your hard-drive nad load XP on to it...

OK Thanks!
But i don't find the bootloader version that you point... i have downloaded the one i have from the main thread of ROM Upgrade... could someone put the link?
thanks

Hi!

Cheers
