Can't stand WM5, how to get back to W2K3???

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

Used 2 different versions of xplore wm6 and missing major amount of calls

I recently upgraded my phone to xplore and i was missing many many calls and not only that i never got the voicemail notifier. this went on for a wk then i upgraded to the new xplore that was released and still the same thing seems to be happening.
as well i cant seem to find the sim mananger on my phone. i am using the tmobile mda g3 verison. wm5 worked pretty well on mine, but as an american i must have the newer but it doesnt seem to be working.

More info please such as GSM version, overclock software, etc.

i am using cingular, nothing else done to the phone besides flashing the rom

Do you know what radio version (GSM) your using?
For Cingular, this 2.19.11 UK radio is the best.

Radio is not included in rom !
Only OS
I suggest if you have a problem with a rom, post that problem in that rom thread, like that you'll keep this forum clean.
Flash the tmobile 2.19 RADIO ONLY ROM you can find a link in the first post of the Xplore thread
HERE :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299470

Flashing the radio just updates the radio. You don't change your OS and don't loose anything. I am running Radio 2.19 on Cingular. It is the only one that seems to be working for WM6 and Cingular USA.
Radio 2.19 (changes only your radio)

Missing Calls
I am having the same problem with the Missed calls. I am using Xplore1.1 which I have found very stable. I also just update 2.19 radio rom, so I will see if that helps. Thank for all the help, your forums are very nice!

I had the same problem with Cingular 8125, on Cingular U.S. network. Quit overclocking, flashed 2.19.11 UK Radio ROM (it works fine on U.S. network) and so far no problems. I'm using Wizard Mobile 6 Business Edition FINAL by jwzg, no resident apps except for X-Button.

I've got the same problem. Tried many roms and tried a couple off different Radio Roms. But the problem still exists. The wierd part is that first with a couple of WM5 roms the connection was lost, but now my phone says it has connection but some times people can't call me. But as soon as I use my fone (for a text or a call) then the connection is OK again and I'm available again.
I installed a new WM6 rom at a friend of mine he's got the same problem now.
Both using a WM6 Faria rom with a 2.19 radio rom.
Hope someone does know how this problem can be solved.

There's nothing to see .... it works.
All you guys should do some research before posting and blaming roms! No rom is perfect and works different on each device. Example: we both can have xplore installed and I have a problem with the keyboard and you don't.
If you guys are gonna report an issue and help make the rom better...cool
If you're gonna complain about what doesn't work....use your factory rom!
What you guys fail to realize is that this a developers site! Not a user site.

I don't get it. I don't think people in this treath go *****in that the rom is ****ed or something. There is a problem and there are more people with the same problem. I for example tried many roms and radio roms read loads and loads of topics but can't find a good explenation of what can cause this problem and how it can be fixed.
I love the work of all the rom cookers here and don't complain about that it is the fold of a rom cooker. But it is a problem I can't solve so there for there are forums like these where you can read and read, and when you still have no answer you can post a message. And that's what's happening here.

I totaly agree with you.
This site is called XDA-Developers , and if you people don't want to learn anything, but just copy a ROM, and go home, I would also suggest using an Official one.
Please tell me, what Provider is giving his customers this amount of free customer service ?
And you pay them, remember ? Not directly, but you do.
What I wanted to say is remember that this is provided "as is" and no warranties. Things may go bad. Like dwny said, same software can act different on some devices, and that's nobody's fault.

So far it has

I don't remmeber blaming anyone or the roms...I was just having a problem thought one of your developers might of found something that worked for them. I am reading everything that goes up in the Xplore threads.

Let's all just calm down.....
Guys, this is so not cool.....
Look, no one in this world knows everything about everything and everyone must start somewhere right? Old timers (relatively speaking), please lighten up on us intermediates and the newbs; you were once newbs too!
Newbs, they are right to an extent in that this is a development site and nothing is going to be easy about what we do here. There is no step-by-step guide! (i have found the hard way a few times). It takes time and dedication to get a lot of this stuff right and overall there is a great risk that something could go wrong or you could not get the same results as everyone else. But, if you weren't already interested you wouldn't be reading this! You gotta admit, it's good stuff.
Now, on to the issue here in the post. I wonder, are you syncing your calendar data with an exchange server or just outlook? When you sync your data and look at the data on your phone does it mark your appt times as busy? Have you checked your phone network forwarding settings (in phone app go to options if you haven't found it) and tried forwarding your busy calls to another phone number that you have near you and see if this might be the issue. I had to do this with a couple of ROMs that I have tried as when my calendar saw me as busy the phone would not ring! If this works, then in the future one easy to get around this to either A: Mark yoour appt times for now on as "Free" or B: forward busy calls to secondary phone if you are a slave like me who has to also carry a crack-berry (loath even the thought of that evil thing!)
Just an idea.... Please let me know if this helps. I actually found this in a post a while ago myself but I can't find it anymore.

I'm calm
I wasn't upset when I wrote the post above, so chill. I will see what I can find out.

It is all good here

Usually because you get a voicemail notification and you never heard the phone ring. This happens to me sometimes. Does anyone know if there is any coralation with missing calls and GPRS always turned on? Do the people who are missing calls have that option enabled?

Cingular 2125 WM 6.0 ROM ?

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a AT&T WM 6.0 rom for the cingular 2125. So then I wouldnt have to perform a CID unlock.
Thanks!

No
sorry dude there arent any official roms containing wm6 for cingular 2125, just the ones that u see in the fourums. I was afraid of changing my cid but at the end I did it, nothing bad happened to my phone. i have nitrous wm6 version installed on my phone and it works great, the only thing that i noticed is that battery is running out 30% more than it used to. but all that u gain compared to that its nothing. by the look of your nick you seem to speak spanish by the way i do too if you need anything or have any questions

I guess if you have a Touch Cruise, and not a UK O2 branded XDA you'll have to go to the HTC site

That is correct, the HTC branded devices have different firmware to the o2 branded devices. You can obtain that from the HTC website.

Orbit 2 WM6.1 ROM
Loaded it today!
A couple of nice tweaks but I still feel the os needs a major revamp which will hopefully come with WM7.0.
I'm not a big stylus user and a couple of things really bug me, especially the silly little 'x' to close windows in the top right of the screen.
Whenever I'm in the Comms Manager and want to close the thing I seem to keep turning on 'airplane mode' rather than hitting the 'x' button because they're so close to each other!
I still think the device is the best out there though.

just wondering if anyone else has found this problem at som points my orbit will freeze and then start reacting like 10 seconds later.
This is the only problem i have yet to find/annoy me with the rom so far so quite happy, even more happy by the speed increase over the original rom

Hi, i downloaded the rom update, from O2 was wondering if gps and tomtom work fine still, and also with igo 8, i dont wanna flash it and find my gps wont work, thanks peeps.

I have updated to 6.1 and all appears OK, in fact I havn't noticed any major diffirence. For info I have both TomTom and CoPilot working OK.
I am no expert on this ROM upgrading lark, but it took me hours to get my Orbit back to its previous state with the installation and configuration of various apps.
Do those brave guys who are constantly changing their ROMS have to go through hours of re-configuration each time or is there an easy way??
A

is that with your internal gps, i have not got a clue myself about this stuff, you dont unplug anything while its doing it do you.

Battery life seems much improved. Also, the QuickGPS util works very well and a lock can be had in seconds rather than minutes.
One funny - my Direct Push email would not work correctly after the initial upgrade. I could download all my content but the device refused to stay in sync requiring a send/receive to empty the Outbox. No amount of deleting/recreating the Exchange partnership helped. In the end I chose "Clear Storage" and did it all again from scratch. That did the trick....

From my other thread in the sub forum...
Hello!
I'm trying to upgrade my orbit 2 from wm6 to 6.1 using the official patch on the 02 website. When I enter in my serial number I get the download link with some instructions.
One such instruction is...
"Please note that if you already have CoPilot satellite navigation software on your Xda, read this installation manual (links to PDF) before upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.1"
The PDF talks about upgrading from wm5 to wm6 with co pilot 6 installed. Now im upgrading from 6 to 6.1 with copilot 7 installed
Do I still need to follow the guide? or can I just install the upgrade without touching the copilot 7?
I dont want to lose the use of the co pilot software by not deactivating it prior to the upgrade.
I tried calling o2 but they were useless.
Cheers

just reactivate it as you did the first time round @orbit2user123z

Windows 6.1 for O2 Xda Orbit 2 - and the features are?
Now this upgrade is available what do we O2 users get in terms of features? The HTC version on their site details some minot tweaks but not enough to want me to install the upgrade, can anyone give us a definite list of features in O2's new ROM?

I've got it all working now - cheers Madheadwil

Before i found this thread i thought my Orbit 2 was faulty, i could not get any roms to install onto my device but now YESSS!, thank you

That would be really helpful. I don't want to waste a couple of evenings reinstalling and reconfiguring all my applications if 6.1 doesn't do a lot more than 6.0 (or the things which have changed are things which I wouldn't use). Anybody know?
