WM5 on PH20B2

[dainosan]

Hi following the instructions for the build 14343 i get a "Model Id Error".
here is the content of my DeviceData.txt ;
PH20B2 B 2 WWE VODAP102 1.40.00 0 0 1.13.00 13.00

is there any particular BaUpgradeUt.exe that i should use?

feel free to email me, Tx

Try the NOID version it will skip the country check :), you can get it on the ftp @ ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/Tools/MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip
I believe that should help you, just unzip and put the *.exe in the folder with the upgrade.

I'd be interested to know if WM5 on your PH20B2 worked, as everything to date is concerning the PH20B/1. Also your opinion as to whether WM5 on the PH20B2 is ready for use, or still better to stay on the 1.40 ROM. Things like the backlight issue seems to suggest the latter.

Ignore my last email, already solved it. For the PH20B2, do as the WiKi says except be sure to use the PH20B directory. I found that "maupgrade" wouldn't run until I renamed the HTCRUU.conf and HTCRUU.dll files as RUU.conf and RUU.dll respectively. Then all worked as the Wiki suggests. More updates later...

Np .. however, In the end the upgrade it is possible but how SLOW is it? I found it unplayable, and I had to go back to WM2k3

Actually, I found it OK. There are a few problems:

- using the BA keyboard, sometimes keypresses are missed
- sometimes you get Wifi and GPRS at the same time (confused BA)
- it does run a little slower

However, overall, I have no intention of reverting back to WM2003SE. Despite the niggles above, it is a great credit to the star chaps in this forum that they have WM5 running, and so good.

Now Mr Gates, about that Messaging and Security Feature Pack - we're (still) waiting... tap... tap... tapitty-tap...

Hi,

does this mean i can Update an PH20B2 (Vodafone VPA3) with WM5 for the PH20B ??
I have just update my VPA3 with the 1.42 Rom T-Mobile for the MDA3 and the MDA3 is a PH20B but all is working. Whats the different between PH20B2 and PH20B?

I've flashed a few WM5 roms and never found any missing keypress on the BA keyboard! You can also try PocketMSN for messaging. If the speed is slower than WM2k5, take care of your device with the 'Startup Manager'
