Upgrade to wm2005? newbie

[rodeo_calling]

hi all,
I am looking to upgrade my himalaya to wm2005.I was scared to death when i was upgrading my device to 2003se, but with the help of xdajojo& others, I was able to upgrade very easily with diamond1.2 from omegared.Now I have been reading on how to upgrade to 2005 by xdajojo but to be frank, despite the beautiful way everything has been arranged, I cant understand most of it...I did try to upgrade but then I got the country id error(I have no idea what that means), I reffered to certain posts but that was all alien language to me :? .I really wish I could upgrade to wm2005, with all the talks around about how good the feel is i just cant wait, but the procedure seems difficult.I am also concerned about the RAM problem, as I dont understand most of the discussions about that(am I the only fool here? :oops: ).Anyway, is there a simpler way to do all this like we did with diamond or I would just be deprived of the cool wm2005? :cry:
Please guys I need help on this.Thanks eveyone.

It's very easy actually. Remember, Windows 2005 is still very buggy. Don't put your screen into Landscape, If your do a softreset the screen is back to Portrait and the "actually" screen is still in Landscape!!

Check out the XDA FTP folder for Himalaya2005. There is the new version with the full RAM.

Download the .rar file from within this folder, unzipp it on your PC into a folder, then run the .exe file within this folder. Done

Of course, you first have to put your XDAII into bootloader mode before you run the .exe file. (bootloader mode: Powerbutton, resetbutton + directional pad left).

Hi,
I have upgrade it to WM2005. But my SDIO wifi not working and the storage memory is only left 9mb. Is there anything to be done after the upgrade? What about those people discussing Ramdisk or something like that and those .cab file?
Thanks

rmhtoh, have you upgraded with the latest FULL RAM version? I think you still used the old limited RAM version. Check out the FTP folder Himalaya2005. The new version is there.

That will solve the memory problem. You don't need the RAM disk anymore.

For the SDIO WLAN, download the SMARTPHONE driver from socket. There is another post in this forum about it.

I dont think you can land to bootloader screen without pressing the power button.

just run the setup once with the hima clearcode file and then u will land up in bootloader mode. and then it will give error and then run the setup and it will work..

Yeah, just make sure you put this file (HimaClearJumpCode.exe) in the same folder (on the PC) and execute HimaUpgradeUt.exe.

WARNING: Do not copy HimaClearJumpCode.exe to your Pocket PC!!!

If it fails, try it again and will go through just fine the second time.
