hi, ive done this upgrade on my mpx and im hearing lots of people saying to stay away from a 512 memory card, i used a 512mb toshiba sd card and have had no problems at all with my install, anyway if you do upgrade i really recommend downloading the resco system toys 1.20 and the resco explorer 2003, it gives you all the stuff that was missing from wm5 (battery meter, memory meter, file manager) and makes it perfect.

[size=3]
ok just to be plain and simple wm2005 is by far the best yet.

PROS
faster os
better reception
battery life improved

CONS
no task manager ( reccomend 3rd party)
no batter or memory ( reccomend 3rd party)
that weird thing that it keeps showing numbers on the external screen
and this os has less personality ( ex you cant change the external display)

SOLUTIONS
3rd party programs
registry editer
WILL FIX ALL PROBLEMS

PS for some questions asked earlier i have a 2gb sandisk sd card i dont know what happend but now it only shows up as a 1gb i dont really know why im guessing wm5 partitioned it when it was formatting and now the second gb is just waste space

actually i have now come up on a problem i havent seen before

i was checking my voicemail when a friend called, i hit ignore so i could finish listening to my messages, when my voicemail came up to the part where is says press 7 to delete i pressed 7, NOTHING. for some reason the phone was not sending out the signal.

however all you have to do is hang up and call the voicemail again

IS THIS JUST MY PHONE OR HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THIS

My phone died also after flashing the third part. Upgrading from 2003 to 2005.
No boot up. No charging. Had the battery out of the phone for half an hour. No booting up.
I've a sandisk 256 mb.
When the screen appears with the error and the id, must I do OK and then take out the battery?
When must I put back the sim?
Please help me. I still didn't find a solution here. After reading this topic, a lot of peolple are having the same problem.


This is the same problem I am having. I followed these instructions religiously and after flashing image3 and removing and reinstalling the battery the phone is unresponsive after step 13.

QUOTE
Using the motorola mobile upgrade wizard, do the following:

1. remove SD and SIM and connect device
2. flash with part1.img
3. disconnect and remove battery
4. replace battery
5. master reset
6. device ID should be displayed along with an error message
7. remove battery
8. replace battery
9. put in SD card (you need at least 32MB) and reconnect
10. flash with part2.img
11. flash with part3.img
12. disconnect device and remove battery
13. replace battery
14. master reset, but options are different now (choose clean reg hive and format storage)
15. wait until complete
16. enjoy


The phone is a triband mpx200 and I am using a 256mb sandisk SD card. The phone does not respond to the power button or master reset. It is not detected when plugged into USB. The only abnormality I can think of is that I dont have a SIM card to use yet, so at no time durring this process have I had one to insert. I dont see how this could cause my problem though.

Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Hi,

I posted the path I used when I upgraded to WM5 here:

http://www.mobilegadgetnews.com/index.php?showtopic=10836

This has worked for me on several upgrades now and it would appear that other readers/users have had the same results when they performed the upgrade.

The instructions you list in your thread are very similar to the ones I used. I do not think the instructions are my problem. As I said, right now the phone will not power on and is not recognized by the PC. Id like to know if anyone knows how to recover it, or failing that how to ensure it doesnt happen again with another mpx200.

That does happen on occasion but if you take the battery back out and leave it for about 15 minutes, then plug the battery back in and connect it to the charger it will generally come back to life after around 30 minutes and start charging.

Let it charge up fully and try the upgrade again if it won't power on.

The PCUpgradeWizard is quite elusive. Not on the CD that comes with the MPx200, not anywhere to be found. It's a wonder anyone has been able to upgrade their firmware. I've spent 2 full nights searching for this thing. ...sigh...

Version 1.3.0 is about a 5MB file.
I have it and I don't mind emailing it to those who need it but I am only going to send it once so make sure that your email server can accept it.

My first post smile.gif

I bought a Motorola MPx200 on eBay to replace my ancient Nokia 8260. I quickly found this board and began the unlock and upgrade to WM5. I'm happy to report success! smile.gif

Attempting to upgrade to WM2005 from WM2002, v3 build 13258 (OEM build)

Mobile Upgrade Wizard is inconsistent at finding the device but when it does and I select the Part1 image file, it then comes back with a Failure after about 20 seconds. It doesn't appear to be communicating with the "USB Modem".

Is the Mobile Upgrade Wizard compatible with older USB 1.0 devices. Also, my PC is old and slow as ^*&&. Mobile Upgrade Wizard didn't wipe the flash because the phone still works. So why wouldn't it do anything with the Part1 file?

I have done the upgrade successfuly, but does anybody know if now with this OS is possible to edit Office documents rather than just viewing them??

You'd need some third party software to do so, and I think Clearvue may be the only choice. It only allows viewing, not editing. If you are wanting to view and edit Office documents, I'd recommend looking into a Pocket PC over a Smartphone.

I have used the Mobile Upgrade Wizard on my old IBM 560Z laptop which has the older USB 1.0 on it and it works fine so I don't think that is the issue.

Did you remember to remove the SIM card?

i failed upgrade my mpx200. after flash the 3rd img, phone cannot be powered on.
although i can flash it back to 2003, i still want to use wm5. because it stor all messages on SD card, instead of phone memory.
i tried to use a Kingston 512M MMC Mobile, a Kingston 512M SD, and a 32M MMC Card from Siements 6688. does the wm5 rom support all mpx200 phone? should i change to another new SD card?

I have read that there are some issues with the 512MB SD cards but I have never tried using one.
I know for a fact that a standard speed Sandisk SD card, either a 256MB or a 1GB works because I have used them both on several upgrades.
