When you use an official upgrade package to flash the Operating System ROM of your device, the upgrade utility is very picky as to whether it will let you upgrade or not. It makes sure the model number, language and some special three digit code match the existing ROM on your device.
If you run adaptROM before you run the upgrade utility, adaptROM will use ActiveSync to ask your device the same questions that the update program 'Programme A' will be asking later. (If it can't find your device, it will prompt you to insert it into your cradle before pressing 'retry'.) It then adapts the ROM image to what 'Programme A' would like to see in order to let you upgrade. It changes the model number, language and three-digit code in the ROM image file, and then calculates a new checksum and inserts it into the file.
