WM2003, No Camera

[kidcash]

Hello,

I flashed back to Windows Mobile 2003 SE after having windows mobile 6 installed.

The only problem is the camera does not work, There is no camera option in the menu, and when I press the camera button nothing happens.

The OS I flashed with is WM2003SE 2.06.00WWE XDA2 from the buzzdev website.

Any help?

Thanks.

sounds like you dident put in a new extended rom where the cam software autoinstall from

I searched on the forums for extended rom and found this :

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=221732

So I put contents in my STORAGE, as per instructions, and now I am flashing, is this the correct way?

One Question, is there any newer WM2003 SE ROM avaliable for himalaya than WM2003SE 2.06.00WWE?

Edit : Nothing happened I still do not have camera, and I also notice My XDA II splashscreen is not showing up, instead it is a blank screen, probably some firmwares I flashed with earlier messed everything up on my himalaya.

Edit 2 : I manually looked through the extended rom contents and found the camera and installed it and a few other programs, but I get error "the program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile software" nonetheless it works

extended rom is a nbf file like a real rom it include a list of cab files and a text file which list the cabs

after a hardreset it auto install all the cabs

you dont need to flash a nbf file (it's don the same way as a normal rom buzzdev prob got some)


about 2003SE then it's a bit of a bastard rom
it was never released (as far as i know) as WWE (world wide english)
but only as chineese and was manualy translated to english by fans (heard that there are still chineese bits around in the rom which display as garbage chars)

about a later 2003SE then there was another chineese rom 2.11 or something like that
but it was pretty unstable so never translated to english

personaly i were to drop wm6 wm6.1 or wm5 and go back i would go to wm2003 not se
version 1.77 as it's more stable so unless one need the rotate without a softreset (which is pretty much the only thing i recall SE offering )

About the EXTrom, i was never able to get it to install after Hard Reset, I have to manually install the cabs myself, ussually I remember my pocket PC would say "Please wait until your device is configuired" , then it would install a few things. But since I have began flashing with all sorts of firmwares I cant get the extrom contents to auto-install after hard reset, so i have to manually install them myself. And you are right, I am seeing weird garbage characters already after instaling the MMS programs from the extended rom contents.

But I do remember the first time i went to WM 2003 SE, which was a few years ago, I got the ROM from the offical o2 xda website, and it was perfect. But thats not longer available.

As for WM2003SE, I always thought it was an upgrade to 2003, I thought that SE (Second Edition) should be more stable.

I might just flash to WM2003, not second edition, do you know where I could find the ROM + Extended Rom contents for it ?

[Rudegar]

yeah it's 2th eddition
but wm is not more stable then the drivers and 3th party stuff
the rom have in them

also heard about a wwe 2003SE but never confirmed that it was around
maybe if you google deep and long enough you can find it

about official 2003 roms for himalaya then first place i would look would be
the ftp of this site they may still be there

2th would be around at buzzdev

3th would be on the sites or ftp's of o2 / tmobile/ imate and the likes

4th would be googling around

Ah the problem is the XDA Developers ftp site is not working. I looked over at buzzdev and they have no WM2003 Roms for the Himalaya, only WM2003 SE

[kidcash]

Ok from XDA Developers ftp I find the following :

1.60.36 T-Mobile_NL_Shipped
Himalaya_T-Mobile_NL_1.72.903_eDsuBsofT
Himalaya_T-Mobile_NL_1.72.90_Shipped
Himalaya_T-Mobile_NL_1.75.903_eDsuBsofT
Qtekk_1.75_Converted

I believe they are all WM2003 (not se)
Which one to use?
