Terminology
Dictionary characteristics on PDAsavagemessiahzine.com

PDA - TO Arman P ersonalny TO our PC. It is also often referred to as KVM - TO Arman M ultimediyny TO our PC has another name: Pocket PC, PDA, handheld mini-computer.
Communicator - PDA with a built-in telephone module.
Smartphone - The literal translation: a smart phone. It is different from the lack of touch screen device and a simplified functionality.
QVGA - Screen Resolution 320 * 240 pixels.
VGA - the screen resolution is 640 * 480 pixels.
It is important to note that games and programs designed for VGA-resolution will not run on QVGA-type or will not work properly. (Today Theme) as the theme of the VGA-compatible device will not work on QVGA, but the QVGA theme suited to VGA-device.
Hard reset - Hard restart, at which the device is reloaded with complete loss of all data. Required for full cleaning / reinstall your operating system, or - Hard reset is a complete memory reset to the initial settings, all information is erased from the main memory.
Hard reset is carried out in two ways:
1. Through the menu Start->Settings->System->Clear Storage (in the Russian version: Start ->Setup ->System ->Clear Storage) to enter "1234" (without the quotes) and press YES.
2. Tighten the two soft keys (two on the front panel - one on the Explorer icon on the second envelope) and holding them to do Soft Reset. Hold down to wait for the alien lettering on a gray background. After her appearance let go of that hold and press the green button (if you have more than one button is green - wash your phone !!!). After the end of the erase process, press the green button again. All!!!
Soft reset - Soft reset, at which the device reboots retentive. The procedure is similar to shutdown and power-up the device, or momentary battery removal.
Bootloader (aka Bootloader, aka Mattress) - (boot area of ​​the primary drivers for the launch of the device): simultaneously hold down the "Camera" and press the stylus on (the Reset), hold the following sequence and wait until the colored stripes appear on the screen.
RomUpdateUtility (RUU) - directly the flasher, which also started with a PC (modified firmware flasher used for unofficial firmware or radio).
Radio - not FM-radio, a software part of the firmware responsible for the operation of telephone networks, and GPS. It comes complete with official firmware. And can be updated separately from the main firmware.

AKU (Adaptation Kit Update) - a software package of bug fixes and adding new features in the Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system. Analogue of Service Pack (SP) in the Microsoft Windows NT4 / 2000 / XP / Vista / 7. AKU - subversion of the operating system. It is displayed in the information about the operating system (Settings ->System tab ->Details ->Version tab). The information about the operating system has a parameter Build (Build). The last 3 digits - AKU. Separately AKU not downloaded or installed. AKU is embedded in the current firmware.
PagePool - is an area of ​​memory allocated from the operating system and is used to cache data. Increasing size PagePool can achieve faster system response to user actions, decrease - more memory for running applications.

CID, Country ID - is a string of 8 bytes, which contains the code of the operator (producer) and the country (the device localization). Each program-flasher checks the CID and CID in the firmware on the device and allows you to fill in the firmware only when they coincide. Those. CID - This accessory device to the country for which it is made.
SuperCID - higher priority status, CID control functions are disabled, you can sew any firmware.
IPL (Initial Program Loader) - a boot loader that gets control immediately after switching on or reseta. It is usually stored in a special area of ​​NOR flash-memory. His only task - to initialize the RAM and load it into the SPL (and pass control to it).
SPL (Secondry Program Loader) - is the primary boot loader (IPL and SPL also called bootloader), that it loads Windows Mobile. Just as it is usually integrated flasher. He kept somewhere in the flash-memory (usually in a separate section, which is not visible in the system).
Hard-spl - modified SPL (be updated once and remains as long as you will not change it again to the official firmware ROM or Radio on gray machines).
Jump-SPL - is a program for Windows Mobile, which when running in RAM replaces the original SPL specially modified, and then unload the Windows Mobile device and leaves Bootloader .
Due HARD-SPL you can upload any firmware without differences of language (analogue SuperCID).

Instructions SPL Upgrade the firmware ROM and RADIO
!Important!Firmware Radio (radio) is identical to the firmware ROM (system image)!

So look around the name of the official firmware file:
_ATT_Tilt_RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_S
hip

Easily deciphered: first is the appointment of the firmware (for whom: CHTC itself or the operator), then yazykproshivki, then: the first digit - the firmware version, the second part - the version of the protocol, the third - the radio version of the module.
Attention! Marker firmware formality yavyaetsya wordShip in the file name.
Attention! Designation RUU (! Supra, sic) does not mean Russian firmware identity, Russian firmware have in the title - RUS, and the British - WWE.

So,official firmware consists of:

1. SPL
   SPL - it's something in the BIOS similarity to the PC. Responsible for loading the device itself actually re-flash and some interaction between the operating system and device hardware. With all offitsalnymi firmware is appropriate SPL. Just SPL does not allow (see. Above about the CID Lock) to sew the firmware with the wrong ID model / region.
   
2. Splashscreen
   Splash - just a picture, which appears early in the boot.
   
3. OS
   It is, in fact, the image containing the Windows Mobile.
   
4. Radio
   Radio-firmware, RadioROM, radio firmware, radioROM - realtime operating system that controls our telephone module, camera, GPS. (Other PDA can control and others)
   

Unofficial firmware It consists of at least (and usually) from part comprising OS . Usually the firmware data is spread in the form of .nbh files (eg KaiserRom.nbh ). For the firmware file needed .nbh modified flasher (Sometimes it goes straight to the firmware).
This flasher inter aliaDISABLED Forced HARD-RESET at the end of the firmware. On the one hand it allows to flash Splash Radio or without hard reset. On the other hand if the firmware complete firmware (ie, containing OS ) After flashing MUST DO HARD RESET HANDS !!! .

Before flashing:

• charge the battery at 100%;
  
• make a backup (backup of contacts, email, messages, appointments, notes) to return them to the new firmware (a full backup to restore the system to the new firmware can not be !!!), for this purpose, you can use third-party utilities, such as SPB Backup, Sprite Backup and SKTools.
  
• to put the firmware is not their linguistic affiliation, informal (created by our ROModelami - homemade) or to update the Radio only necessary to carry out the procedure HardSPL both GRAY and WHITE on the device - it is enough to make one time,
  
• Remember, self-flashing is very dangerous and can kill your device !!!
  
• if any problems with the flashing device fails, for its treatment requires an official "native" firmware that came with it initially (ie, the one that was installed on the device in the sale). The same firmware, you will need to roll back, if you decide to take an official guarantee for repair.
  

The procedure for firmware WHITE communicators official firmware:

1. Downloading ofsaytafirmware.
   
2. Run the firmware file and follow the instructions in the wizard.
   
3. We sew. When flashing upgraded everything:SPL , Splashscreen , OS and Radio .
   
4. If desired swing and sews popular with youradio(Carefully, Inglish, registration required for download)
   

Firmware The procedure for the white device is not an official firmware (homemade, English and others):

1. Important! Download and install Hardspl (Unlock our device once!)
   note: each time the following flashing the ROM or Radio, Hardspl DO NOT install!
   
2. Run the firmware file and follow the instructions in the wizard.
   
3. Downloading firmware that is like the stitching.
   
4. If desired swing and sews popular with youradio(Carefully, Inglish, registration required for download)
   

note: for firmware ANY homemade ROM is necessary flash Hardspl Because Many interesting new firmware are made on the basis of the WWE, and then russifitsiruyutsya, and roll back to the official SPL is not a problem (in other words: Before installing all INFORMAL firmware or radio devices must be white flash HardSPL.
note: all devices (white / gray) without Hardspl you can flash ONLY official "native" firmware
note: radioROMy (not all, but most are available) can be found hereinafter in Section 4: Firmware, containing only radioROM

The procedure for firmware GRAY communicators:

1. Important! Download and install Hardspl (Unlock our device, ONE time!)
   note: each time the following flashing the ROM or Radio, HardSPL install DO NOT !
   
2. Downloading firmware that is like the stitching.
   
3. If desired swing and sews popular with youradio(Carefully, Inglish, registration required for download)
   

Standard firmware ROM (system image) and RADIO (radio module radioROM) from the PC:
The Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or higher must be installed on the PC.

1. Download the firmware and put (save, move, razarhiviruem) it into a clean folder on the "C" local disk ( "D", "E", or to whom it is convenient), for example, C: \ myHTC.
   
2. device (communicator) charged to 100% we connect (connect) to the computer via the USB-cable, preferably to a notebook, as a power failure during the firmware can also kill your device (PDA).
   
3. Waiting closure synchronization aktivsinka (wait until the device is synchronized with ActiveSync'om - when the green icon will no longer rotate with arrows).
   
4. Run the firmware file and follow the wizard's instructions: proshivalschika appears on your computer, it all ticked off (ie agree) dialog box and click NEXT (below), then start flashing procedure (first device goes into bootloader mode, then begin flashing ).
   
5. DO NOT turn off device from the computer until the firmware is complete.
   
6. The process will take about 15-20 minutes, then restart the device.
   

Regarding Radio firmware (baseband) to the PC:
The above described method itself updated and / or flashing Radio (radio firmware is identical to the system firmware image).
IMPORTANT!
Do not attempt to flash the radio firmware from Diamond / Raphael / Blackstone / quartz / Jade / topaz / Rhodium Kaiser, it can damage them.
Kaiser's approachtrained Radio Roma from Nike / neon / Polaris.

For any radioROM firmware on your device has to be pre-sewnHardspl .
radio module firmware does not affect the operating system and does not lead to Hard Reset (as the radio stitched modified proshivalschikom), but just in case, make a backup of all data.
Before flashing your device radioROM battery must be charged for at least 100%.
Radio version can be seen when booting the device, at the time when the bottom right there are three rows with numbers - the first version of the radio ones. It can also be found in the information on the system settings.
Important: Windows Mobile 6 are 1.27.hh.hh (and they're divided into 2 groups)
Important: for Windows Mobile 6.1 are designed 1.58.hh.hh, 1.59.hh.hh, 1.65.hh.hh, 1.70.hh.hh, 1.71.hh.hh
Important: if the flash that is not appropriate, then cuts off at least the camera and speaker ..

Firmware with PC from under bootloader
The same procedure is standard firmware, just before connecting the device to a PC you need to enter in bootloader mode.

Firmware with Flash-card.

1. Download and unpack the firmware of interest, find the file with the nbh extension.
   
2. Rename toKAISIMG.nbh .
   
3. We put it in the root of the Card (in the "Storage Card" or "Memory Card" folder on the device). The memory card must be formatted in FAT32.
   
4. We simultaneously hold down the "Camera" button and press the cut button for 3 seconds until the bootloader appears (colored stripes on the whole screen - a mattress).
   
5. Further, the writing on the screen you can press power button to start the process of firmware - Hit. Next on line run that fileKAISIMG.nbh found which modules are included in it (- OS, - Radio, -)
   
6. While sewing, we do not press any buttons, especially the power button. A progress bar is running, we are waiting for completion, the inscription "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear.
   
7. We make hard cuts, as usual by pressing three buttons - left-soft, right soft, rezet.
   
8. Everything!
   

note: flashing when all your programs are installed and removed, only those that are included in the assembly of the firmware, ie after flashing all of your favorite programs to be installed again.
note: as you know, you no longer need a windows or a connection with ActiveSync, which would beg. You can simply copy the file to a USB flash drive out of any operating system that supports an entry in FAT32 partitions.

Before installing all informal firmware or radio need to sewHardspl .
