Few question about upgrading W2K3 to W2K5

i've heard that WM2003 in himalaya gadget can be uprade to WM2005, it's very interesting and i going to try the uprade, but i have some question about the upgrade, my question is:
1. what's the risk during upgrading? could my device occuring some permanent error?
2. what's the consequence of this? will my device working slower? or working faster?
3. if i don't satisfy with the WM2005 can i downgrade back to the WM2003 OS?
please help me by answering my question

Response:
1. the device may fail, but you can restart the whole process entering the device in bootloader mode and upgrading (happen to me once)
2.Your device will work Faster but sometimes (at boot sequence) will be slower.
that's the price you have to pay. Other thing is there is no MMS in WM5 (dont work for me) and some camera issues, that can be fixed. But is more eye-candy than the WM2003 or 2003SE.
3. If you aint satisfied you can go back to 2003SE just putting the device in bootloader mode and then making the upgrade using a WM2003 ROM (the nbf file)
One thing: Tofclock and Buzz (thanks guys!) are working hard to bring us one stable, better and faster WM5 ROM, so be quiet and wait like me :wink:

Hi guys,
I ve also heard that after you upgrade to Wm 5.0 the phone vibratin wont work, is that true?
what else then?
:roll:
Thanks

Hi dickyw,
my vibration on my Himalaya works perfect...

Hi Guys,
Can anyone help another dumb newbie?
I upgraded my Himalaya to W2k5 OK from the O2 exe file, but I now want to downgrade to 2003 SE.
The folder I am trying to use to downgrade is WindowsMobile2003SE_XDA2_2.20.00CHS-translated.zip
Himaupgradeut.exe gives:- Error 120 Country ID error 1-1-8-n-1
HimaupgradeUt_noid.exe gives:- Error 103 ROM image file not found
XDA image tool gives me:-Unsupported file format error for NK.nbf
I have:-
Boot loader 1.06
CE image 1.72.00
Extended image 1.72.181
Radio image 1.17.00
Am I using the wrong tools, the wrong ROM or an incorrect procedure? I'm doing this for a friend so it's getting very embarassing. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks, Mike

Another issue to aware of when upgrading to WM5 is that you need to also upgrade to Activesync 4.1 as 3.8 won't work any more. Given that AS can be very tempremental it may take some time to get the sync link back up and working to your satisfaction so if your data is cruitial to your work then backup, backup, backup and upgrade when you have a few days free to dedicate to ironing out any wrinkles.
Then also xbackup doesn't work in WM5 so you are left with options like buying the latest Sprint backup soiftware (now WM5 compatible) or relying upon your PC Outlook to be your "backup data" (NB I use the Outlook free "backup" util to back up my pst files on exiting Outlook as double insurance).
Regards - Mallow1
PS I upgraded and v glad I did. Had a few AS issues but eventuall got there (took a lot of reading of forums and As battles, but worth it in the end)

cnimike,
One assumes that you have unzipped the zip file first before trying to reflash? If not try that (say use winzip). Also try reading the wiki as a guide to what to do (seee link attop left of page).
You are also best o use the HimaupgradeUt_noid.exe as at least it avoids the first error (esle you'll have to edit the flash files first and recompile them which is straight forward but if you are a noobie it's a step that can be avoided by using the "...noid.exe") and if you haven't unzipped the said file doing that may well sort out your second error.
Get back to me if you need more help.
Regards - Mallow1

I would suggest getting a hold of Sin's merged version (details in signature) or XDA2JoJo's version. Simply flash the ROM and you are there. Elsewhere, SIN has set out the steps in the most detailed fashion you are going to see outside a software manufacturer's manual. :wink:

Self Cooked ROM using c_shekhar's ROM

Hi all,
I took out this thread from
WM2005 AKU3.2 page pool size-24MB RAMDisk-40MB for Himalaya
and cooked a ROM with minimum applications.
Operator has set to O2.
Applications Not included.
Smart Dialing

Call Filter
ZoomSMS
and more, comparing to WM2005 AKU3.2 page pool size-24MB RAMDisk-40MB
I find buggy with Eten Dialer running on Smart Dialing.

My ROM link is here

please note.
In order to use Tweak2k2, please install NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab (about 5 MB)
If you are installing Resco Explorer & Regedit.
Please seperate the installation.
Resco Explorer can be installed into RamDisk
Regedit has to be installed into Device
Any applications that requires Core OS, have to be installed in Device.
Example:
Pocket Informant
MCM (Microsoft Voice Command)
SPB Weather
SPB Plus
If you are using Pocket Mechanic, bared in mind, do not remove registry that you are unsure, as the application will just scan though your registry and display all unwanted registry.
Once deleted, your Camera - Video wont be working anymore.

ROCKON!
thank you dude for the hard hard work.
i can never get this cooking to work! i dont know how ou guys get it done!
but we appreciate the free mooching!!
flashing it right NOW. will let you know what happens

Good job dear, Go on!!!!
1. Have you put in this the MS PPT?
2. If you have removed every thing from this then you could very well pack NETCF 1.0 or 2.0SP1 in it. It is just a suggestion. Only my opinion......
My good wishes to you...

Hi Master,
Seriously speaking, i still a noob here.
Since u told me about the PPT (Mobile Powerpoint) was not install from ur ROM, so i did not, but just use back your ClearView.
What i did was meddling your OEM folder.
Is good to have those Mobile PPT back instead of ClearView, and pre-install NETCF v2 or v1, i really sorry that i have no idea how to do it.
because i read BuzzDeV's forum.
Try to do those rgucomp to get the registry out, and default.hv/user.hv
still dont understand how everythings works.
I did installed Registry Workshop or Hex Editor, even i manage to open the Registry, i see things that i dont wish to see there, but again, if i remove, i dont even know where those registry links to which files.
haha, basically, i am just a noob who only know how to meddle the OEM folder. haha.
I did try to use Tof_clock ROM, but because his already packed everything together, likewise, your 3.00 is seperated into different folders, just need to remove or add links to OEM folder.
Hope i did not disappoint u for not able to fulfill your suggestion.
BuzzDev Forum has the Rom Kitchen thread, too many useful tips, but i just cant get to understand their explanation. lol
I will try out again.

Setting NETCF v2 into your customization folder, is not a problem.
I believed NETCF v2 can be extracted out to make as viewimgs , convert to module instead of files.
but because i dont know how to do it, lol
any advice?

1. Download the folder from here--> ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Himalaya/C_Shekhar_HIMA_AKU3.2_R40_P24/MS_office.rar
2. Unrar the folder and the folder inside be placed in the /dev/OS by replacing the existing one.
3. Remove the clearvue folder from the /dev/OEM.
4. cook the ROM.
You shall have MS PPT instead of clearvue. Yes the clearvue PDF reader shall also get lost in the process. I have UPXed the PPT, Word as well as Excel in this which is fully functional and tested. Try it if you can....

Sigh, my mistake. lol
the actual link is this, which is from the very top thread.

Humm... that is funny, cause i can access.
Anyway, i have plug in the PPT module, and is working now.
Also , due to the trouble to install individual, i dump in Netcf v2 into the customization folder.
Total Storage is 30.53, and In use 9.32
Later i find another host to host the file.

will try to help
using your ROM,
damn stable. thanks for not branding stuff on the splash screen.
liked it a lot
i will try to upload it to rapidshare for the benfit of others who really need to use this clean ROM
thanks dude. i hope you get to integrate NetCF 2
although just installing it over isnt that hard.

Download IT
heres a RS file download link for people who dont understand sharebig file download system
http://rapidshare.com/files/6563901/WM5_3_1_.00a_64_LOC.rar.html

Thanks for trying my self cooked ROM.
Everything has to thanks Master for providing the ROM, for me to cook.
I believed the Stabability between 3.00 and Master's ROM is the same, as is both using AUK 3.2. Just versioning different.
For my 2nd Self cook ROM, i have follow Master's suggestion
and have insert in Mobile PPT and remove Clearvue.
I have no way to intergrate NetCF v2, cause is a cab file, and there is no way i can see the DLL files. Unless Master able to create the DLL for me to play with it.
What i did for this 2nd self cook ROM is to put the NetCF V2 cab in it, which takes up Storage space.
Guess nobody would wants this way.
Well. i put it is to convenient me not to install again. lol.
And thanks for helping me to find another free file hosting.
Rapidshare, if i am not wrong, high chance will end up cannot download the file.
/Cheers.

Pocketword files?
Hi all, many thanks for sharing this, this is the only function I missed changing from wizard to tornado - much improvement over clearvue!
has anyone managed to get it to read pocketword .psw files?
OpenOffice will only convert its native sxw files to psw and I would really rather not have to change my default format change back to .doc
strangely, pocket exel files seem to work fine...
any help much appreciated

Hi!
Could someone please resend this file to RShare or upload here?

Anyone brave enough to test?
Maybe some talented guy would translate the chinese software?

I have the same problem. But luckly, I found a green version and simply paste it in storage and run it from there. It support gsensor as well.

They wont share it as technically that would be warez...
I would however have thought as you have purchased the game before, you would be able to go back to them and request the leo version?
I know most people have to edit the registry to stop a white out problem but it can be mended.
