Hi Guys,
Just to say THANKS to everyone out there, not only the developers but the normal mortals too - who put in effort to help people here.
I have uploaded the Windows mobile 2003 to my site. Its on a super mega link (great words :wink: ) I get 1meg a sec+ when i download from it at work !
http://www.ali.nildram.co.uk/xda/
Cheers Guys
Ali
You are my hero....... :lol:
:lol:
Your welcome !
Thanks again XDA-Developers
Any "gotcha's" in this release. Is it pretty stable?
Regards

other than can't turn off gprs easily... its fab
system wide cleartype
excellent sms + contact management
generally more polished release !
Well I have taken the plunge already and it upgraded like a dream.
Although you cannot initially see massive changes it just feels better and looks a bit more appealing (only subtley though). Its a bit like when XP (without the god awful new nav system) was released, everything felt a bit crisper.
All in all I am chuffed with it and look forward to getting to grips with whats underneath.
Cheers again Ali, and although I am VERY grateful I cannot wait for a SE Rom to see just what weird and wonderful things the development gods bring us.
Just as and addon to this post - I am an EXTREMELY happy bunny now as I have been having major issues with my XDA not recognising my SMS message centre number previous and not allowing me to send texts. This happened no matter what Rom I used. U/g to PPC2003 and lo and behold shove the sim in and its all sorted.
For once (even though I dont think its down to the OS) I will take my hat off to MS and say ta.
HI Ali,
Great work.
Does this exe file work with windows 98?
Anyone out there had used win 98 with this and no problems?
Cheers
Vic
hello mate,
To be honest, I have never tried it with Win98, only XP.
I would defiantely make sure before upgrading !
Btw, do you happen to have the 4.005 release?
I like the direct approach :lol:
no :roll:
I want it though !... anyone care to share and I will upload it for all
I really hate people that have the release and yet publish on the forum and yet giving reason that cannot be understood.
It would be better not to share what you have if you do not intend to let the public to enjoy it. :?
exactly,
Whats the point of talking about it and then keeping it yourself?
we should share !
or find a 'loners' community

GPRS Disconnect????
I think its good but how do i dc from GPRS? This sucks. I still love the se 1.2. I love pocket console.
XDA Asian version
Hi,
what if I use the latest version of Windows Mobile 2003 Ali uploaded on my XDA ? Current versions are:
ROM version: 3.14.17 ENG
ROM date: 10/11/02
Radio: 4.17
Protocol: 32S54
Will I have problems with the radio version ?
Thanks,
So what now ?
:lol: So what now ? :?:
Downloaded Installed Working some kind of GREAT !
Is it the latest version ?
Ali-Butt posted the same release as was posted here 2 weeks ago. its 4.00.01. it just works via activestink. as Xda-developers posted before, updating through programme A is not the safest thing to do. just in case have ur sd card reader ready. also there is a slight chance that ur bootloader might get corrupt. they said it happened. that's why safest way to do it is via SD card.

WOAAAH, i'm downloading it with 2300 kb/sec. Nice connection dude! :shock:

Hi tried the download got Winzip can not open file.

I had the same problem at first. I set it off downloading twice and each time it didn't complete the 15.2MB (or whatever), one around 3.4 and another 1.7ish. Even though the file seemed to complete on both occasions.
What I did in the end was sit and watch it, whilst leaving the original screen with the download link loaded...rather than closing it once the download began. That time it worked a treat.

hi,
Please could someone offer a bit of advice. I have recently decided to purchase an xda2. so i have decided to sell on my xda1.
The problem is that the theft protection is enabled and i was wondering how i disable it or alter it to the new users details.
I have nevered altered the details before as it was done for me buy the previous owner.
Many Thanks
Zetex
You cannot alter the details unless you burn a new rom.
You can disable it by deleting "IIWPO_startup.exe"
from the startup directory (but it will come back after a hard reset). Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply m8,
no i have a problem, do you know how i change the detail for a new user??
Because i dont know how to burn a new rom or has the files to do so??
please can you help me m8
Thanks alot
Zetex
You cannot change the details for a new user, that is the whole point of it, if it sees that the user has changed or no name is entered it will keep informing the "owner", the only way to get rid of it is to burn a new rom to the device.
Thanks alot for your help.
I have tried reloading the original rom from the O2 website, but because the one on the xda is newer than the rom on the O2 website so it won't load it onto my xda.
I have contacted the previous owner who is a well known member on these forums to see if he can help me (gazzaman2k), i'am awaiting his response, so hopefully he can help me.
If anyone has any ideas of loading the original rom back on i would be grateful.
Many Thanks
zetex
very simple. search the regestry for the old user name and you will find 3 variables, old user name, new name and the phone to send sms. in your case change the first and last so you can use it or delete the phone to stop the option.
you need regestry editor program and I think it is with this ROM.
HI M8,
I tried that but when i did a hard reset, it replaced it with the original number????
zetex
ah mate got your emails and found the thread lol.
It is my old XDA1 what i donewhen i sold it you was just locate the reg string and change it over to your details each time you hardreset it itll just come back the olny way you can do it is to:
burn a new rom and place it over it theres no other way and since jeffs kitchen burnt down theres only yorch's one :\ left but that does mostly american roms and i think it isnt as good as jeffs one
on the dvds i gave you there is the original v3.17 or whateer cant remeber its numbers you could try downgrading it to that as thats just a bog standard rom.
but im not too sure about downgrading roms :\
what ever you do just dont try to downgrade the radio version as that can lead to killing the phone.
only way might be to flash it using a sd card. its all i can think of at the mo.
gaz
hi gaz,
I when i changed the name, i think it says last user, current user & mobile number??? i can put another number in there, is that what you did for me when you added my details???
this will work providing i don't hard reset it??? it will be ok. but i have done a hard reset and now your details are in as last owner, new owner and a mobile i don't recognise????
I have tried putting the rom from the O2 website but it won't update because the xda rom that is on it is newer (v4.00 i think) the one on the O2 website is v3.17....
does anyone know the procedure to put the v3.17 (o2 basic rom) on. when you have v4.00 already on....
I really need to sort this out tonight so i can sell, it as i really need the money...
Please can someone please help me i don't mind if its a basic rom. as i just want to sell it on....
Thanks to everyone who has replied
zetex
shizzer thats my dads mobile :| youll have to do what i said with the developers v1.2 thing i sent you via email. as my dad will go mad getting thousands of texts and im sure the guy you sell to will get upset too that his credit is draining every second.
if you cant do it send me the cradel and XDA + the ruturn P&P and ill get it back to normal for you but downgrading to xda developers v1.2 will put it back on pc2002 which i think is a crap version of windows mobile.
i have the files for v4.00.05 but they require to be written by bootloader way which is very scary to try lol
Gaz,
Thanks for the offer m8, i may take you up on that if the person i sold it to can wait..
i have emailed you about resending those files m8 and i will try and do it myself. I don't mind if the pc2002 is put on it as i just need to sell it m8...
I have been having a look around for a later version than v4.00 that is on my xda but i have been unable to find one, if anyone can point me in the right direct in a .exe format that would be fantastic just to get over my problem....
Thanks alot
zetex
only later versions out are yankee versions mate putting that on and youll loose the 1800mhz band so that means no orange/one2one
anyway sent you an email on how to do it:
ahah ! i know
get DVD 1 i sent you.
go into progs p-z
find......
XDA-developers-SER-v12.zip
copy it from the cd onto you desktop.
then dont unzip it...
just double click it it will then begin to self extract a dos box will pop
up.
b4 you do this make sure the xda is in its cradel and plugged into the mains
charging.
wait about 30 secs for it to stop doing activesync crap....
after then double clci kthe file and wait for the dos box to come.
then a windows box will pop up telling you about it all.
make sure you read it thorugh very very carefully and follow everything it
says
good luck mate
gaz
thanks alot m8, it now sorted..

Hiya all, I just got back from a 4 month tour of duty in sunnier climes. Went to sort a rom out for my xda to find that Yorch's Rom kitchen isnt there!
Could somebody enlighten me as to what has happened over the last 4 months please! Cheers :wink:
well, As some of you that know me, I recently got married, and life is been really hectic and I just don't have the time to maintain the website anymore. I have loads of things that I could post in there, that the great community has sent to me, but I just simply don't have the time. Also, apparently the Kitchen is broken, and I won't fix it. I tried contacting LumpiStefan to see if he can get the extra files, that I have and the corrections to certain program (i.e his FSK doesn't work on his kitchen and mine did), and other bootscreens. He never replied. I could be a pain in the arss and make him delete my bootscreens that he had copied without permission, but I don't really mind since is for the community. I would like for him to add the rest though, I personally like my BlissXP screen.
Anyways, if someone wants to take over the maintanance of the webpage, be my guest. I still have my beloved xda, although I alternate with my Motorola Smartphone MPX200, which is cool too.
Well; Congratulations Yorch.!!
Congratulations on your recent nuptials, hopefully life is now complete for you. :lol:
Thanks for running a great Kitchen which was used and appreciated by thousands i'm sure. Such a shame to see such an excellent kitchen go down the pan.
Thanks for everything that you have provided in the past, and enjoy whats left of your first year of married life. :wink:
Once again; thanks Yorch, all your efforts and wares were and are much appreciated.
Cheers mate 8)

Hi people,
as you can see I'm new to the forum so excuse my lack of knowledge.
I did browse through a little when I had my XDA Exec (HTC Universal) but never posted. I've now bought an Orange SPV M3100 from ebay, and I'd like to unlock the sim lock plus upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 so thought I'd join and learn how to mod my new phone/PDA in time for it's arrival next week so I can use my Three UK sim.
I've had a little look at some threads regarding the unlocking linked from another forum, but the threads I read didn't really mean much to me as I'm unsure of the terminology used in regards to software modding. I'm also unsure of what software I need to communicate with my new phone when I update/unlock it.
Any help would be great! In simple terms if anyone can point me in the right direction to unlock and install Windows Mobile 6 then I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Please look here first: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes the wiki should answer all your questions!
Please Read it thoroughly most people just browse through then come back asking questions when all the answer is there!!!
Brilliant thanks for the link, will have a good read.
OK after browsing forum pages and trying to take in some info to accomplish my goal I just need to double check incase I wreck my phone...
Basicaly all I need to do is unlock my Orange SPV M3100, and would like to install WM6... Are these steps correct?
* I understand that I need to install ACTIVESYNC v4.5, which I've done.
* Then to unlock my mobile I need to download Hermes SIM CID unlock v3a which I've done. Connect my phone, and make sure the green activesync icon appears in the bottom right hand corner of my computer screen. I then run the 'Auto_unlock_v3a.bat' and follow the instructions.
* To flash a rom I need to install Hard SPL v7 which I've downloaded. I assume I run 'RUUWrapper.exe' while my phone is connected via activesync?
* I downloaded the Offical HTC Windows Mobile 6 (HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108) from the link on this forum. To install I guess I just run the .exe file?
If I'm completely wrong then sorry, I'm not trying to be a pain I'm just trying to get my head around the whole process. Also could somebody tell me what a 'radio' is?c Thanks.
there should be a read me .txt file in the sim and cid unlocker.... try reading that if you haent allready
I did have a look last night at one of the 'instruction' text files I think on the SIM CID unlocker, that part of my whole process seems the easiest.
I just want to make sure installing the WM6 update is one correctly for obvious reasons.
Is there an advantage to using a 'cooked' version of WM6 over an official HTC WM6 rom? As it seems many have these custom roms, when I assumed the official would be more stable?
Got this all done in the end, seemed rather easy after I thought it would be some kind of nigtrmare.
I now have an Orange SPV M3100 unlocked, running radio 1.47 and operating on the Dopod official WM6 rom.
All seems well so far!
When I get bored I may have to try some of the cooked roms.
PS... Anyone know where to get some nice themes? I saw a green one somewhere on here (official HTC?).
lol i was in the same boat as you (if you remember) its easy when youve done it you think well wats all the fuss really about....lol
i running a Schaps os really nice esspecially with the sleek touchflo in built
got bored of running offical wm6 rubbish lol
I lasted 1 day with the official Dopod rom, I'm now running the schaps 4.30! Very pleased with it, million times better than the standard official WM6 I had 1st.
...and yeah it's easy peasy flashing new roms, I think it's the terminology that was making me scratch my head with roms, radios etc I didn't know what anything was at first.
Happy now though, just need to find a new case to make my Hermes nice and fresh looking - I hate scratched phones!
dont use the *Suger Cube Method*
same i hate scratched phones...
i tryed the using a suger cube on the orange logo as it says on website this will get rid of the orange logo with out leaving a scratch... It scrached my case like there was no tommoro
so if u find a shop or summet selling them please give me a link lol
thanks

I've seen a couple on ebay for around 30 quid with the HTC logo instead of the horrible Orange branded ones.
If you search for htc hermes housing in titles and descriptions you should see a few on there, some are around 50quid though! Plus most are from Hong Kong so you'd have to wait a week or so to receive the housing.
If you need a guide to housing removal I will post a link on here for you?

Thanks i will consider it i really do hate the scratches on my case makes it look second hand when it is brand new
It does look hard to do and easy to go wrong...
Has anyone tryed a ipod scratch remover as it is the same silver metal as the ipod metal u find on the back
Thanks alot for the great responce!
I've taken apart a couple of phones before (Nokia 3650 and did an Ericsson w800i case swap on an Ericsson K750i) and taken apart my old laptop which I managed to fix and this doesn't look too hard to just do a housing replacement.
I ordered a plain black housing today (no company logos) which I will fit next week (coming from Hong Kong). Cost me £33 in the end I think, hopefully it fits OK.
My LCD is ok bar one VERY annoying scratch! Think I will leave that alone though until it gets worse, then I may flog the phone as is at the end of the year, or maybe just replace the screen if I feel I wanna keep it. I pretty good at keeping things looking nice though so hopefully the screen won't deteriorate too much.
I'll post a pic of before and after when I've done it and point out any difficulties I had, should be OK though!
Looking forward to having a nice new looking Hermes without the Orange branding!
Just to say, I managed to change my housing only took me about 30 minutes was pretty simple. All I needed was a T6 Torx screw driver, a very small phillips (cross head) screwdriver, and a credit card shaped card to lift away the housing after you've taken the screws out of each bit.
Haven't taken a picture yet but happy with it! Will post one soon!

thx with ur help i unlocked spc m3100 grt
So I have had my HD2 a few months now and I've been happy with the stock look and feel.
Now I would like to start trying a few of the xda add ons and roms.....
However I do not wish to blindly jump...I figured I would ask the pros here.
So I would like to move up to the newer windows 6.5.x ( not sure what version were at), with the task bar at the bottom.
So I am on the Rogers Network ( Ontario Canada), with an Unlocked HD2.
I bought it on line but was unaware at the time I got wrong unit for here, as I only have edge...no 3g ( Unit from Hong Kong via Vancouver and ACEGSM).
No worries though, as I do not need 3G as I do so little on line on phone...Weather, a little FB, Yahoo mail, MSN Mail....so Edge works awesome for me.
So if I am to flash say mainly a stock look and feel to start, where should I start?
As said, phone came from Hong Kong
OS Version 5.2.21869
Manila Ver. 2.5.19211619.0
ROM Ver 1.66.707.1 WWE
Radio Ver. 2.07.51.22_2
What would my best picks be for my unit?
Is there an Oficial HTC Flash that brings me to the updated windows 6.5.x?
Is there someone who could advise me on what way is dumb guy proof ?
I can flash, as I flashed my Typhoon enough times......but a Typhoon and an HD2 are 2 different beasts.
Many Thanks in advance for any who step into the Yoda roll here!!!!
Anything?
A hint?

hey man, instead of flashing a new rom why not try cht first. its an easy .cab install and truely is awesome. after you installed that, you can then go on to mod your phone with new clocks, skins....well just about anything really. cht offers a quality starting block to build upon. just a thought bud........

Many Thanks !! I will try this out first.
So I still nned to find out, is there an HTC rom upgrade to move me up to Windows 6.5.3 ??? (or what ever the latest version is )
Or is that only by using a rom from XDA?
The reason I ask is it would be nice for me to have the buttons along the bottom of the screen, rather then the 2 screen buttons and the start at the top.....my thumb is rather stubby, so getting to start is a 2 hand job
There arent any official 6.5.x roms with the bottom start button, you'd have to HSPL your device and use a cooked rom for XDA.
Check the stickies in the rom development section for all the info you need on this.
Im not gonna make an assumption as to which model of HD2 you have, if it is the american model (green and red hardkeys / big fat double chin) then you need to be aware of the radio your flashing....
Seeing as you got it from HK then its probably not that one, better safe than sorry though....
As long as you read up on the subject first and make sure your reading the correct information for your device you cant really go wrong.
95% of the "bricked" phone horror stories you see on here are down to people not doing their homework first....
You mention that you'd prefer a close to stock feel for a custom rom so probably either an "artemis" or one of dutty's roms would be your best choice....
To be honest though if your happy with the performance your getting from your stock rom then it might not be worth the switch unless you really really want the 6.5.x look.....
+1 on the CHT suggestion too.
A must have (in my humble opinion) for any HD2....
Hope that helps.......
Many many many Thanks !!! Both donwhann and conantroutman !!!!!!
I will try CHT first before a flash, then when I have read, reread, understand the steps required I will try the roms named.
I have to say XDA is an awesome place to learn....it was a godsend giving my SMT 5600 (Typhoon) new life. As my friend who now uses my old phone will tell you.
Now I will be able to keep my HD2 feeling fresh and fun, thanks to XDA and it's awesome people
Thank you greatly for the advise !!!
