Upgrade Windows Mobile 2003 to Windows Mobile 2006

Basically, the process of flashing is divided into 10 steps.

Step 1 - Download all the necessary files. Choose your desired ROM, there are 2 ROMS for Typhoon, one comes with ClearType, one does not. With ClearType, the font looks better but Chinese font looks abit awful. So unless you want to read Chinese, download the ROM with ClearType. The same applies to Feeler and Amadeus. Download the Extras folder as well

These files are obtained from this website, as I do not want to leech Andot’s bandwidth, I uploaded it to Rapidshare. There might be new versions in the future so I will update the links from time to time.

Step 2 - Ensure that your device is application unlocked, if you are unsure whether it is application unlocked or not, it does not harm to unlock it once again. Download SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip. Then execute the exe file in it. You should see something like this. The purpose of running this application is to ensure that you can install any unsigned 3rd party application (which is the tool needed to SuperCID in the next step) . If your device is already application unlock, you can skip this step.

Step 3 - If your device is SuperCID, you can skip this step and proceed to Step 4, if you have no idea what is SuperCID, chances are your device are not. First, download SPV-Services which is the software you need to use to SuperCID. Extract it to a folder, let’s say on a desktop. You will see three files in it. Cert.cab , TyphoonNBFTools.dll and SPV-services.exe. Copy cert.cab to any location on your smartphone and install it.

Step 4 - Now run SPVServices.exe which was extracted in Step 3, you should see this. RAPI Init was successful means that your ROM is ready to be patched with 16 bytes of data to allow it to be flashed with any ROM, by clicking on Set CID, your warranty is void.

Step 5 - (If you have installed Ronswens WM5, you can skip this step) Now reboot your phone, once you have rebooted, download the new SPL, extract it and run Patched_RUU . Firstly, check the box ‘ I have understand…’ and click Next. Then tick the checkbox after following the 4 step and click Next. Lastly, it will verify the information on your smartphone and then prompt you with another window, click Update and then click next. It will start flashing the SPL to your phone, you will see the progress bar on both your screen and phone. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE or do anything funny at this period eventhough it might seem to have stalled at certain percentage !

Once you are done, your phone will reboot, then turn it off.


Step 6 - Remove the USB cable, and disable Active Sync USB connection. Open Microsoft Active Sync, click File -> Connection Settings -> Untick allow USB connection

So now that you got your device turned off, remove the USB cable.

Step 7 - Now you need to access the bootloader. Ensure that the phone is turned off, hold the camera button with a hand, and connect the USB cable, after a second, you will see a white screen asking ‘Need an IU? “, press 0 and you will see a 3 colour screen which is the bootloader

Step 8 - Now extract the ROM which you have downloaded earlier on to your C: drive, then execute mtty.exe. Select USB from the drop down menu and click OK.

Step 9 - Now type ‘l c:/os.bin’ without the quotes and type enter, you will see a series of process. The entire process takes around 10-20 minutes. Please be patient. Once it is done, type ResetDevice, and you have WM6.

Step 10 - Now you need to choose which camera driver you are using depending on what camera your phone uses. If its 0.3MP, then choose 0.3 and the same applies to 1.3MP. To set the camera driver, hit Start -> Settings -> More -> More -> Camera driver. Choose and click done. Then extract the Extras folder which you have downloaded earlier and install the apps which you need.

1) Celetask is a better task manager which can be accessed by holding the Home button after it is installed
2) WM5Storage now works on WM6, the USB driver has been replaced
3) Install the approriate camera software, or your phone might just hang
4) HTC Album is extracted from Windows Mobile 2003, just incase you want the classic akbum

The last thing you need to do is enable back USB connection which is the reverse of Step 6.

I hope this guide will make it easier to flash their phone. Let me know if any info can be added or any info is wrong in it.
