Dopod 696(chinese brand of XDA2) has been released W2K3 SE

[tumtum]

you can view at this thread

(it is chinese)

here some screen shot


when does O2 will released W2K3 SE ?
or We need to wait from T-mobile or i-mate.

[patrick_dube]

So I must learn chinese... right? Or these european guys will finally have their own version of SE for Himalaya?

[edsub]

this sounds promising.
If we can assume that all roms are based on 1 original (and I can't be;ieve that one is chinese . . .) there MUST be a Himalaya WM2003SE WWE rom around . . .
Now if only someone can post that one . . .

[tumtum]

I think like you edsub.
It mean that all XDA2 can use WM2003 SE.

but from other post, most of people said O2 won't release W2K3 SE
may from business trick for sell other device such as XDAIIs or XDA III

[buzz_lightyear]

is anyone here able to get that ROM from:

ftp://220.163.6.130

i'm already @ 5.09MB out of 120.13 Mb however speed is 3KB/s and connection is breaking all the time... :o(

Could you paste the full URL for the file?

I can then add it to GetRight and it'll just sit there trying to get it for me :)

[NinjaDonkey]

Cheers!

I'm giving it a try right now... hope it works!

[double_ofour]

The device like xda II, mda II, qtek version, dpod version and other has the same hardware. If that one can use SE perfectly, surely we SE can also be use to XDA II.... i know 1 member here who uses SE he showed it to me in the pix and its tru... but he dont want to share cuz he promised to Microsoft that he will not distribute it...

Sorry, but if you name it Dopod 696 it's XDAII with Windows 2003 (not SE) you can see this link http://www.dopod.com/gb/product/696_1.jsp
and this is 696i (T-Mobile design) http://www.dopod.com/gb/product/696i_1.jsp
I think there's confusing on this matter!
Any ideas!

[NinjaDonkey]

ammar: Nope, I've not even been able to connect to the FTP server yet.

hungdu: Those two devices are exactly the same - just different cases. ie, they're both "XDA II"'s.

Neither of them say they run WM2003SE tho.

[buzz_lightyear]

hey guys,
check the photos of XDAII running SE, on those chinese web pages..

@buzz:
The folder /696µÚ¶þ°æROM

Under the folder in the ftp server, i found 2 files, one is 96902Ver.bin and SE Extended rom.rar .... will post when finish downloading too.

[mamaich]

I've also started to download the 120mb file through a chineese proxy.
Hopefully this ROM is not a fake and it would not be too difficult to make English translation.

[agp]

hmmm.. but this rom is totally chinese language... if its in english then walao..... hahaha :D

I've downloaded the SE Extended Rom.rar file, but I can't attached to this post. The size is 9MB.

Extended ROM is here. Nothing is interesting except for an AirStrike game (chineese :(), updated camera and OEM_CHS_OU_04110301.sa.CAB. It seems that bluetooth driver is updated. Extrom is here:

[buzz_lightyear]

OK, I've got the ROM image now... :o))))
However, the guy, who made it, did it with 128MB SD. That's why it is so big... I will strip it down to normal size, try it on my XDAII and then post it here...

[mamaich]

this ROM is not a fake. It is real 2.20.07 chineese simplified ROM "ARM Windows CE Kernel for ARM Built on Jun 1 2004 at 16:25:13". Our 1.72 ROM is much older: "Built on Oct 17 2003 at 16:35:03"

I'll install this ROM on my device tomorrow. Only 7.5 mb downloaded.
Or I'll try to combine it with SRS service.

[ZeroXtreme]

So it is confirmed that the language is chinese right? Could it be that its english based and that some custom .CAB just puts in the chinese language and settings?

Could anyone confirm this please?

[buzz_lightyear]

The language of the ROM is CHINESE. It is not any customisation from some .cab. The OS is just built as CHINESE OS. However, if you want to try it, here's step by step:

Steps for upgrade:

1. make SD ROM backup of your XDA II
2. using Winhex, save the content to PC
3. using Winhex, copy the first 412 bytes from the header of your backup file
4. using Winhex, paste them over first 412 bytes of the chinese ROM backup binary file and save it
5. using Winhex, write chinese ROM backup file onto your SD card
6. put the SD card in XDA II and enter bootloader mode (wait a bit)...
7. press "Power" to flash...

That's it. At the end of flashing, it will complain, that "checksum failed", but just reset and....

...I have WM2003 SE running on my XDAII!

I'm not saying too much details on how to do this and that, because if you are NOT an EXPERIENCED USER of winhex, XDA II bootloader, YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE, HOW TO FLASH XDA II, THEN:

!!!!!!! D.O.N.T. D.O. T.H.I.S. !!!!!!!

If you do, it's your own risk...

I'm trying to do this, but i can't: I've done all 7 steps, that you had written.
BUT I can't do a soft resen, i can' t leave a bootloader after that. I can only downgrade to old rom.

So where is my mistake? I want to use this rom. :(

[buzz_lightyear]

what's your bootloader version?

[Zuhel]

1.02

[Anonymous]

how did you saved your ROM to SD?
Hope your didn't used osRomImage to do so, because if you did, then your bootloader (the first 412 bytes) is now empty...

I used this( http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62 ) meethode to backup ROM.
I backuped only WinCE ROM to SD card.

[tde]

I did followed the complete procedure and it worked fine for me.
I had the CRC failed at the end of the restore, but then just reseted the device and I now got a brand new chinese XDA II.

[tde]

1.02 I think (displays Serial 1.02 when entering bootloader mode).

I used romUpdate tool to flash the SD backup, then WinHex to extract the 412 bytes and copy them onto the .Bin file from the dopod.
Then flashed this back to the deviced, ignored the CRC error and reset.

Works fine.

[Zuhel]

YEAH! I did it!!!

*cough* hows the ENG translation going?*cough*

[mamaich]

One hint for english translation. This ROM contains lots of files named *.0804.mui. If you delete them, the corresponding modules would become english.
Most of them are inside ROM, so we cannot delete it -> we have to patch ROM. For example we can search and replace all strings ".0804.mui" with ".0804.tmp" in ROM, then reflash and look what happens. Or you can overwrite these files with zero-length files, theoretically this may help and would not require reflashing.
I cannot check this myself now - I don't have a card reader near me to flash this ROM. And reflashing using HimaUpgradeUt.exe brings us a device stuck into bootloader. This is maybe due to a fact that chinese ROM is larger than English (1FC0000 bytes in chineese and 1F80000 in English) and HimaUpgradeUt erase/flash only first 1F80000 bytes.

[bezzita]

I was thinking to upgrade my ROM to 1.72.187....

but since this WIN2003SE ENGLISH ver. is getting there , I think I'm just going to wait to upgrade my XDAII.

Good work guys :D

I think it should work but I'm not sure

Maybe someone can repack this Win2k3Se with out some bulls***,so it can be placed in a 64 Mb SD card? Unfortunately I only have 64Mb card.. :?

I've made an update that can be installed without SD-card.
http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/chineese_se.rar (18460034 bytes)
To install it - extract this archive, enter bootloader on your device and run HimaUpgradeUt.exe.
The nk.nbf also contains the 1.06 bootloader, it was not updated on my device. But I'm not sure, so those who have 1.02 bootloader - be careful, program may update it to 1.06 version!
The extended ROM is not included into archive.

And one note. It seems that my device started to work a bit slower after installing this ROM.

P.S. I'm trying now to remove MUI files from ROM, I'll post what I'll get.

Hi mamaich,

it looks to me, that my device was a bit slower on the first start, but after that it is a bit faster than 1.72 ROM... and I'm overalll quite satisfied with it...

We will also need to replace all of .html files and install standard fonts, which are in chinese as well. But that is not a big issue, I would say.
I'm not quite sure at the moment, what can be done with SIP, however additional SIPs can be installed...

Renaming *.0804.mui files gave too little. Only several programs and control panel applets returned to english. Most of the OS is still chineese. It would require lots of time to make an English translation of all exe/dll files.
Tomorrow I'll try to edit registry and make at least "start" button and yes/no/ok/cancel in dialogs to be English.

It's possible to use the newer dailer (like in the MDA3) in the upgrade to SE?

[edsub]

The new dialer = Intellidialer.
AFAIK Intellidaler was not incoorporated in the MDAIII.
It was introduced with the Magician (MDA Compact) and it runs on all SE machines.

So: Answer is Yes.

That's it. It will upgrade Radio only. Do full backup before, since device will be hard reset. I just did it and it works fine

Extended ROM should be heavily edited to remove chineese customisations and update MMS client to MMS client from XDA3. It seems that chineese MMS client is not working.

Hence, is it possible for me to just change the operators's name to O2 and save it by using the same er2003edit without using the xda2nbftool.exe? FYI, I'm currently running 1.72WWE imate O2 rom version wif 1.06 bootloader.

2)If i just upgrade only the NK.nbf and Radio_118.nbf file, would i need to manually put in the SE Extended_rom.exe (which was uploaded by u recentely) later on by using the xda2unlock.exe?

3)Like u said the mms client is not really working, would it be fine if i just replace your SE Extended_rom.exe wif imate original 1.72 Extended Rom?
Would there be any clash btwn a chinese rom and a english rom?

Thanks for your clarification.

Well Done!!!

Probably you can use er2003edit to change operator name. I prefere to use command line xda2nbftool.

You should use Extended ROM Unlocker to unlock ROM, place chineese extrom ant then hard reset.

This should be tested. I'll try to install XDA3 extended ROM to imate.

Hi mamaich,

Thanks for everything. Nevertheless do u think is it possible for me to recook the rom by adding cab files extracted from 1.60 Asia rom like PegasCE-sdio.2577.cab and ClearVueV2.4.380WWE.sa.CAB and also telco setting like Maxis.cab, O2ASIAMaxis_AP_20040211.sa.CAB ?

These above mentioned files are meant for gprs and mms setting for my country.

Do you personally think this could work if I add them in to the Chinese SE Rom by doing a hard reset after copying it using the Extended ROM Unlocker?

Anyone has tried it?

TQ

Merry Christmas....

I've made an update that can be installed without SD-card.
http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/chineese_se.rar (18460034 bytes)
To install it - extract this archive, enter bootloader on your device and run HimaUpgradeUt.exe.
The nk.nbf also contains the 1.06 bootloader, it was not updated on my device. But I'm not sure, so those who have 1.02 bootloader - be careful, program may update it to 1.06 version!
The extended ROM is not included into archive.

And one note. It seems that my device started to work a bit slower after installing this ROM.

P.S. I'm trying now to remove MUI files from ROM, I'll post what I'll get.
I upgrade my XDAII by using chineese_se.rar. The problem is that
on the setting screen, I do not have button to select landscape mode. I have only align screen but no orientation. Anything was missing? My ExtROM haven't been upgrade yet. My boot loader is V1.03

Picture on the right is mine

Anyone know how to remove the battery indicator...
When i make the restore from mamaich, it put the icon on the upper right corner...

[sprint]

Is anyone else having the same Contacts low memory problem ?

[JaToAc]

me too has the battery indicator which is replaced by ok/close button when a program is opend. it's not that bad at all to have a battery indicator in the top bar... i can live with that.
but is it normal to have the memory icon next to the bluetooth icon (bottom bar/today screen)?

[h4ndy]

After I upgraded to W2K3SE, When I want to write a New SMS, I cannot write the name directly into the sender list, Need to take the phone number from contact list.
In ROM 1.72 I can write the sender name straight away. anyone got this problem.. ?

how do I make the font Size smaller in today screen, It looks very big to me ?

another problem I cannot see the bluetooth profile in today screen

thanks....

hi all,

i figured out how to install the chinese rom, and updated radio to 1.18, but i can't figure out how to install the extended ROM.

The himaupgradeUT.exe seems to report an error 103 (cannot locate ROM image), when i try to install from the extended rom folder? What am i doing wrong???

Mamaich.....you done a fantastic job with an easy install for the chinese rom and radio is simple enough, but could you please give me some advice on how to install the extended ROM?

Many thanks

Adam

[mamaich]

could you please give me some advice on how to install the extended ROM?
To install extended ROM you should install "Extended ROM Unlocker" tool. "unhide" ROM, reboot, than "unlock" ROM. New folder would appear on your device with the extended ROM contents. Delete all files from there (you may backup them if you whant) and extract RAR archive to that folder. Do not run any CAB file from that folder, do a hard reset and these progs would be installed automatically.

hi'
how could i go into bootloader

Hi mamaich, can you change the version 1.72 to 2.20.07, and language from WWE to CHS, and repost again, please.

As lots of user in China is using Dopod 696, and the language is CHS, and using nbf is much easier to upgrade, thanks

[cpz21]

Mamaich, U da man!

I did the 2.20.07CHS update, with Radio 1.18, Ext ROM 2.20.116CHS, very smooth upgrade, big THANX!

Only one thing, - cproghook seems in the ROM but not working, and cannot be installed manually. Miss the CONTACT button so much, is this only me or ......?

Thanks again.
