Hi there,
I would suggest you go hunt around in the forum as your queries has been repeated.
Maybe you would like to try these few steps. (Must have ActiveSync installed)
1. Search in this forum for roms (WM 6.0, WM 6.1, WM 6.5)
2. Download SOFTSPL (search in this forum)
3. Extract the files and put it to root of your phone (next to windows folder)
4. Run SPL.ink from your prophet (Using File Explorer)
5. Screen should turn white
6. Extract the files from the ROM package you downloaded at Step 1.
7. Run ROM update file.
8. Once done, phone will reboot and viola ~
9. A new OS is running in your prophet
Hi Sunset,
I have roamed around the other post also , but not be able to understand.
your 1st step : u r talking about the wm6 download (exe)
2nd step: what is SOFTSPL (need to download 1st in phone)
3rd: which root folder u r talking about
4th: where i can find the SPL.ink
6th: need to run the exe from i have downloaded in phn at step 1?
7th where i will find the ROM updated file
sorry , I dont have any idea of these things, Pls explain me it would be better for me and post a link for step1 and 2

the thread explains it quite well
The Wiki is your guide
Always try the wiki first and read two three times what the methods say and follow slowly that should help you on most of the things mate.
That still fails for Imate Jammin G3
I tried those steps for Imate Jammin G3
After the screen turns white, i run the G3 UPDATEEXE from the computer.
It fails as it couldnt connect.
When i remove and plug back the usb cable from the phone i hear the sound - which indicates the connecitivity.
I have to do soft reset to start the Windows Mobile again
Note : i am trying to Upgrade WM 5.0 to WM 6.1

Hi all!
I've an Italian version on i-mate Jam and I'd like to install the last English version of the ROM.
I'm trying with the wwe (worldwide English) ROM but seems to doesn't work with my device...
S.O.S!!! Smile
Hello
There are numerous posts on this problem.
Quick extract on the matter from JoelWu as you may get Error 150 Codes
1. Right click on the downloaded Rom EXE-file and extract to a named folder (using Winzip or something similiar)
2. You should end up with about 6 - 8 individual files; ms.nb1, radio.nb1, nk.nb1 ruu.conf, ruu.dll, enterbl, getdevicedata and maupgradeut, the maupgradeut is the file that runs the upgrade
3. Download the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
4. Once you have this file you will need to add this to the folder created above as this is the file needed to initiate the upgrade.
5. In ActiveSync, go to option -> Schedule, Set it to Manual, this is to make the PPC USB connection to ActiveSync active but don't do any Sync with your PC and PPC during the upgrade process.
6. Connect the phone to the USB, manually sync once. From now onwards, the step is the same.
-----
7. Now run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
8. The upgrade Wizard will start, go through a few checks then eventually come up with the country Id error.
9. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file again and this time it should allow you to run the Wizard.
10. The process should then go through 3 stages which should last about 10 - 15 minutes.
11. When finished you should get the upgrade successful notification and a prompt to reset the device
12. In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and tick the USB connection.
Many thanks!
I'll try it asap!
Last questions:
if I install the WWE ROM as you told me... the next ROM upgrade it will be possible by the normal exe way or all the WWE ROM need that workaround?
If I install the WWE ROM using the way you told me... Can I came back to install the Italian version of the ROM? Using the normal way (.exe) or... ?
I dont no.. im trying 2 update my Magician for the second time i will post my result first i try with official .exe. if it dont works i use the cracked...
Nope still Country ID error
Thanks!
IT WORKS!!!! :wink:
well... now I've got English ROM on my jam but 2 problems:
- On my old Italian ROM there was an antivirus application installed as default. On English ROM there isn't!!! :-(
Any suggestion to download the antivirus? Is it necessary in your opinion?
- Now, when I'm typing with the std keyboard the Jam suggest me the English words... (obviusly!)
Can I configure the Jam to sugget me the Italian words or the WWE have only English vocabolary inside?
- Wat's the differences fro WWE ROM and US ROM or UK ROM? I'm Italian... waht's the best English ROM for me?
WWE is fine for you. The US and UK roms only have settings for that countries' phone providers in the Extended Rom. Since you're not in either of those countries you can just stick with WWE.
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.

hi
I'm a newbie to PocketPC, I just bought an used PocketPC from my friend.
It's a T-mobile MDA Compact with O2 mini traditional chinese firmware. All the menu, everything is in chinese. The problem is...i can't really read chinese.
It maybe a dumb question! But i just wonder can any PPC experts here show me "Step by Step" how to flash it to an English ROM?
thanks everyone very very much!!
Cora. ^^
1. Download any Magician WWE ROM (latest is ver 1.13) and the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from this board's ftp.
2. Extract the zip file and copy MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to the same folder where you extracted the ROM.
3. Disable the USB connection in ActiveSync.
4. Put you MDA in bootloader mode (press power+camera+resest at the same time.
4. Plug in your MDA to the USB cable.
5. Double click on the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.
I have followed the steps... After run the "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe", and click "NEXT"... then.. It says "Checking the information on your device... Please wait... " i have waited over 10mins, but still nothing happened. Wonder is there anything i have done wrong?? thx
Cora.
FINALLY... it's working!!
THX THX everyone!!
CORA.
What shall I do if on stage 2 it always stops on 24%....and nothing happens?
So, as I see there is many newbees here without experience in ROM flashing. Some of them need just ROM in another language.
Because there is really no simple guide for all who wants to flash their prophet to get at least WM 5.0 WWE (or other language) I will write my experience (this doesnt mean I can solve al problem!!!!, cos´in flashing about 50 devices already I really had no problems-just followed instrucions from this forum).
If you have a Prophet (S200, XDA Neo etc) and want ENG WM 5.0 ROM just follow next few steps, and it should works
1. Determine do you have G3 or G4 model
2. Download and install ActiveSync 4.5
3. Download ROM (my suggestion PVTemp) and unzip somewhere on desktop
4. If your device is locked-> unlock it using lokiwiz
5. Connect device to PC ( running WIN XP suggested) and sign as a GUEST!
6. Disconnect and go to bootloader mode -pres COMM button and after that soft reset with pen, relise pen in few seconds and your screen should show RGB colors. DEVICE BATTERY MUST BE ABOVE 50%!
7. Connect your PDA on PC (it will show USB on screen, down left)
8. Go to directorx and run ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe (if its G4) or ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe (if its G3)
9. Follow instrucions on PC screen
10. After some time (10min) PDA should finish and do a restart-it usualy stuck on 0% and 85%, but dont panic and wait, it sould continue!!
11. Enjoy new ROM!
That is it for now. I hope it will help, if I found out something I will edit the post, and at the end:
YOU CAN DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RESPONSABILITY;DO NOT CONSIDER ME RESPOSIBLE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
Do as I do- read as many posts as you can considering flash and upgrade!!!
If someone want to add oppinion or suggestion (or just link to mentioned software) it will be great of course!
Also, if admin have a better idea (maybe to edit and stick post somewhere) it will be the best solution!!
Some solution from wiki:
If during an upgrade your Prophet fails to start properly or can only enter bootloader!
Hard reset
Hello,
I have just upgraded my treo750v with 2.27. I have strictly followed the process and everything goes well even replications.
The only issue is the fact that I can't activate anymore my phone. When I try, device tells me : "A problem has occured with device.exe / please tell Microsoft about this problem....".
Other issue is that when I want to recover following your process, I find the folder but there is no T750URT.exe nor any other file.
Hereafter my configuration :
Windows XP SP2
Activsync 4.5.0 build 5096
phone id : Can't give as each time I want to get it, I have the waiting icon then "A problem has occured with device.exe / please tell Microsoft about this problem...."
Memory free : 36MB
Can you someone help me ? Even send tell me how to get a former SW with WM5.
Thanks in advance,
perform the upgrade again using the SD version (or extracted cheeimg_fw.nbh from updater) and KaiserCustomRUU.exe (search for file and how-to).
Then run UpdInfo.CAB (extracted from updater) to set version to 2.27
Hi,
Tks for the steps
For SD update it is OK.
I can't find anything clear enough for Kaisercustommruu.exe.
Issue solved
In fact, issue was coming from a wrong installation. I consequently unzip the download file (treo 750.....device installer) with winzip (can also with winrar) then launch T750URT.exe.
The recovery tool launch a new instal and everything goes well now.
In all cases, tks for your help and this great forum which teaches me a lot of things on my Treo 750.
Excellent, glad you figured it out!
The gist with KRUU.exe is to rename the file from "cheeimg" to "RUU_signed"
