kk attempt 2
so far i have downloaded Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_3.5_v.1.4
which wen extracted has 5 folders
i moved the nbf file from Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU3.5_v.1.4 to PH20B1
andon my phone i ran GetDeviceData, this gave me the results
PH20B 0 BWWE E O2___001 1.31.00 0 0 1.31.139 1.06.00 06.00

using this data i then ran setoperator in cmd, and typed
SetOperator 02001 .
i am now at this stage and unsure how to carry on!
i am sorry if it has been discussed before, but i really dont want to brick my device as it was a bday n xmas pressie and dnt have the money to buy another

(thankyou for your patience it is much appreciated)

Why are doing something you dont understand, there's no need to hurry.
You should read the wiki once again - and slowly and more carefully!

Why did you move the .nbf to PH20B1 folder?!
Do you know what your device is?

Why did you type "SetOperator 02001"? Where it was written?

[ady2002]

i got the information to do that from the readme in the
\Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_3.5_v.1.4\Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU3. 5_v.1.4 folder

WM5 ROM Installation Instructions

1. Modify the operator in the ROM as needed

Open a command window and execute: SetOperator ????
- Replace ???? with your Operator Information
- i.e.: T-MOB101, or Vodafone, or O2, or ...

To get your Operator information, you will need to use GetDeviceData
Refer to the XDA-Developers Wiki for further information
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=GetDeviceData

2. Copy the NK.NBF to folder that match ur device (PH20B/PH20B)



this seems to be inline with what is said on
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_GettingStarted


sorry for bin a bit slow, im used to double clickin on a firmware update!lol

Wrong answer:)

1. I moved .nbf file to to PH20B1 folder even thought I have PH20B device as can be read in DeviceData.txt given by GetDeviceData. (I moved it there because there are setoperator.bat xda3nbftool.exe but its still wrong folder)

2. I typed 02001 even thought the proper string looks diferrent.

I didnt read the wiki carefully but I am afraid of breaking my device...

[ady2002]

sorry i was not trying to sound ungratefull at all by my previous post:)
on wikipedia what section would it be best for me to read?
the upgrading to wm5 (as i am still on wm2003se), or the introduction threads?

thanks
ady


(is it as simple as copying the NK.NBF into the ph20b folder and double clicking the BaUpgradeUt.exe?)

[kerio]

To be honest you should read everything. Start with introduction threads then focus on FAQ and make sure you understand terms such as EXTROM, Storage, RADIO and so on.

Then you can read some older threads and try to get as much information as possible.

After 1-3hours of reading you will be able to flash device and solve "every" difficulties by your own. Also you have to know problems related to WM5

just use this tool
no ID upgrade tool (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MaUpgradeUt)

[ady2002]

well just to play it safe for the time been i updated to the newest version available on the 02 site
Xda_IIs_Upgrade_v140242

what are the benefits (if any) to upgrading to wm5

The primary benefit is that power loss doesn't cause a hard-reset and loss of data. No need for backup software like you have on 2003.

There isn't a lot to the upgrade, however understanding what is going on is key if you don't want to risk damage. WRT the country ID stuff, that info is a bit outdated. There is a "no-id" upgrade exe that ignores it.

In short the steps are:
backup using activesync for contacts etc
make the extrom directory on your SD card
resize storage (if you want, you probably do)
do the upgade

[ady2002]

thanks for the help fraser, last question why would i need to resize my memory (by that do you mean the sd card)
i have an empty 512mb, but would like to use it for normal storage after the flash has been successful.
would tht be a problem?

[fraser]

There is no real need to resize it, it's just convienient. I used to always install most apps to the phone and only larger ones like games go on the SD-card. That way i can change the SD-card (e.g. for music) and most of my apps are still available. However, I do have a 2gig card myself and I find myself rarely taking it out these days.

[ady2002]

cheers, so i can skip stage 3 :)
thanks again
i read through wikipedia and as i understand all i have to do is copy the folder "EXTROM" to \Storage Card\EXTROM
go into boot mode and then run from the pc "Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU_3.5_v.1.4\PH20B\MaUpgradeUt_noI D.exe"
and then soft reset after flash
is that correct?
thanks again
