Deeply sorry, may be this is a selly question, but i have no time to get inform myself. I have a PDA2k of my big boss only for one day, he is highly frustrated from its problems. Is there any other ROMs that i can flash it to enhance its functionality, and if answer is yes, is there the same problem of country ID, and can i solve it with the same tools of XDAII>
Thank u very much in advance
I-Mate released a patch today, that is supposed to resolve a lot of the bluetooth issues. You may want to look into that first. The link has been posted on this forum.

Is it possible?
The new XDA IIs has WM2003SE in the ROM image, so would it be possible to steal it from there and add it to a home cooked XDA II rom?
Is there a ROM Kitchen available for the XDA II, or is it only available for the XDA I?
Thanks in advance for your help.
1. still Not Possible at the moment !

1. It will never be possible to steal the complete ROM, since the hardware is different and unlike PC-operating systems, PocketPC ROMS don't have drivers for multitude of hardware. Hardware independant pieces of software could be chipped out and ported to another, like SRS.
2. :lol:
I've used WM2003SE on my XDA2 & it works fine. In fact seemed to be rather more stable than the one it replaces.
It was a NFR version & I've since gone back to 1.72.181 'cos I want Blackberry
Then you must be one of the lucky few who got their hands on a XDAII WM2003SE Rom.
If NFR means NotForSale, that is why we never saw it.
But if you could share, plz
What I meant was that a WM2003 ROM of an XDAIIs can not be used on a XDAII.
I'm pretty sure I could make you a WM2003SE with blackberry support.

Do you still have any of this ROM???? If so please post it here asap as it means a lot of effort can be saved in trying to rip it.
mr puff, maybe you could share the WM2003Se?
pfft zif he'll share
IF is exists WHY hasnt anyone uploaded a WM2003SE ROM for Himalaya???
This means we get (amongst others) Landscape, plus the Possibilities of using the new Intellidialer
I would very much like to try it!!!
Puff: PLZ upload the rom package. We wont tell anyone! :wink: And we wont resell it. promise!
i'm sure someone would volunteer to get the file and upload it somewhere...
Should be nice to trie ... MR Puff or other nice guy could share your rom ...
:lol:
Is a law problem ? NDA ?

I think like edsub.
we will keep a secret and never talk to anyone about it.
People,
You are placing him in very akward position. He is probably under NDA of some kind. Those "releases" usualy very easy to track down to a particular person :roll:
Wait until some kind of "group" will release it. :twisted:
Puff we are all waiting your cooperation
please if you still have the SE ROM. :wink:
Was better don't know that there is this kind of ROM ... now we know ...
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Just a thought
Let's assume that this Himalaya SE ROM exists.
All major providers would easily have access to it.
The only reason for not releasing that, and ask people involved to sign NDAs, is to push sales of the newer hardware.
Which is an acceptable policy, from the viewpoint of a single company.
But when the good old competition works as it should, there is always one of the player breaking these situations.
If this does not happen, it is easy to guess that there is an agreement between the providers for not releasing the upgrade.
Now, that is against the law.
Just a thought, in case anyone involved in antitrust commissions would be reading this forum ...
FYI...

could you please upload your ext.ROM ?
I hope it doesn't include in your promise to microsoft.
thank for advanced.
Hi,
I'm the proud owner of a T-Mobile MDA II with vga camera. Half an hour ago I happend to find this interesting forum.
What is this Windows Mobile 2005? I've never heard of it. I searched the Microsoft website, but I didn't find anything.
I have no idea which OS is installed on my MDA... the ROM version is 1.72.01GER (in case that helps).
So... in case I want to upgrade my MDA.... what do I have to do, where do I get the files from etc. And, what is this upgrade all about? Is it a totally new OS, or what is it? I have no idea
Thanks for your help
Bye

Hi Bauer,
I too am a newbee. Just joined this forum about a month ago. If I may give you a clue ( though I'm not an expert in it), the Windows Mobile 2005 is supposed to be the next mobile phone OS from Microsoft. It is said to have many more user-friendly features than the one you are currently using. However it has not yet been officialy released in the market (I even doubt if its ready yet). But thanks to our great Buzz Lightyear (http://buzzdev.net) we are fortunate to get the taste of the new promised features. Buzz had managed to create his own version of the said OS and named it the Magneto. Why don't you try to drill further into other area of this forum or go to http://buzzdev.net. I'm sure you'll get the idea, and as it happened to me I'm sure you'll like it too. Good Luck.
Hi again Bauer,
Regarding the question as to where to get ROM upgrade, you can try this link http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=124&Itemid=32 to get the copy of the new ROM upgrade. However you are supposed to register yourself first to be able to access the link. There (and in this forum too) you will get a clear description & instruction for the ROM upgrade.
I would also like to get this opportunity to apologize to the forum (especially to Buzz and the development team) for not being polite enough to say 'thank you' for all the work you've done. I've had no significant problem with either the upgrading process or the tweaking around with both hardware and software (incl. 3rd parties). Everything works fine with my machine since day one I did the upgrade. I love the work. Thank you all, and have a nice day.
Hi Bauer,
Spend time reading the wiki site too which will provide you with a lot of background about your new toy and the sort of things you can tweak/ develop or pick up that others have done.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Also learn to use the search function of this website as you can find most of the answers for yourself without relying upon good folk to give the same advice to the next newbee in the queue asking the same questions ('nuff said, we've all been newbees at sometime).
Once you've read relevant parts of the wiki and are comfortable that you want to risk changing your ROM (there are numerous pitfalls you risk (e.g. warrantee invalidation) and ultimately totally killing your machine if you have two left feet/ power surge/ massive bad luck etc) search these forums will educate you to the experiences of others developing/ beta testing/ exploring. Buzz's versions of WM5 are narrated a:

Remember to pay due homage to all his hard work.
Beyond that enjoy.
Viel Glück - Mallow1
Hi, I first want to start by saying I have read through the entire Hermes wiki and have followed the website for about the past year, through my 8125 and now on to my 8525. Thus, I have done the necessary research but now just have a couple of questions that are best answered by the community. I apologize if I did not find a thread out there that answered this particular question, but I assure you that I tried to look for one. ANYWAY....
A couple of weeks ago my father purchased a HTC TyTN in France, I suppose, from my recommendations for my 8525. He is originally from overseas, grew up there, and has fluently spoken French his entire life, but English is the language with which he is comfortable as far as computers and phones go. Although he loves the phone, his one problem is the fact that everything is in French. He says that he can sort of navigate around but claims that most of the translation is not great, and, in addition, it is hard for me to help him out when things are called different things between our two phones.
Basically, my question is what do I have to do to make his phone in English? I am assuming that his phone is the HTC TyTN and, from looking on the ROM upgrading page, that his ROM is currently the "1.18.256.2 FRA." I know that I will have to upgrade his ROM, but which is the best, most stable one that I should upgrade his phone to? Or, is there officially released ROM's that HTC releases for TyTN users who buy their phone overseas but would prefer an operating system in English, or another language?
Again, I am sure someone will say "Read the wiki before you post something like this," but it is my father's phone (which he paid $600 for there!!) and I want to be sure I know what I am doing when I do it, rather than the way I can just play around with my 8525.
I thank everyone in advance for reading my post and for any help that anyone can provide; a mere recommendation of a ROM to any helpful suggestions would be more than appreciated! Thank you so much again, and thanks to everyone who keeps this place such a valuable community for those seeking help and, of course, those eternally seeking ways to make their phones cooler than that of the person's next to them!
Sincerely,
Brandon
Without going into a discussion on which ROM is "better" and what criteria should be used the decide the "betterness" of a particular ROM, the easiest option is to install the WWE edition of the same ROM version you have installed already.
You will need to either make the phone SuperCID, or better, use the new SSPL method.
Hi All,
after reading many posts and searching for answers to my questions I think this might be the place to post my questions concerning my HTC X7500 ; if not please don't be .. I've just signed on to this -I must say great- forum.
Ok here we go;
I am Dutch and own an X7500 and upgraded to WM6 using Advantage_HTC_NLD_2.21.404.1_1.50.00.00_Ship.exe; as you can see the language is Dutch. No tweaks; just plain WM6.
After several mails to HTC support asking for a DL link for WM6 english (if i'm correct WWE) I was told the WWE version was not due until 2 weeks.. uhuh; X7501 ships with MW6 and in English so there should be sw out there for me. Googling brought me to this lovely site and to Duttythroy's post of 31-08-07. Installing Advantage_HTC_WWE_2.21.405.2_1.50.00.00_Ship.exe failed.
I have several guesses why but am just not sure.
So my 1st question is;
What must I do to install WM6 in English on my X7500? (if it kills my warranty, no problem; just should work). Can I also install the upgrades/updates mentioned in topic "Athena Project Black Touch Edition by PK".. Love how it looks!! if the 'feel' is as well..
The 2nd question(s); Could anyone point me to some specific reading material related to upgrading issues for smartphones? eg HTC's X7500. I'd like to understand the principles of it all. Is sw always HW related or are there some 'baselines'? Is a ROM, phone specific? Is firmware referred to as ROM? Those basic things.
Why these last questions? I'm a former IT engineer/manager who stepped out of IT business and ... opened a restaurant. IT is still a hobby but I 'miss' the last 3 years of phone sw selfeducation..
Thx for any reactions and any time anyone will spend on my post.
cheers,
Hans

Sorry for such short answers but i'm headed to bed but still wanted to start you off:
Upgrading Phone
- Take out SD card
- Use Olipro's unlocker to SIM/CID unlock your phone (All three steps)...more info on this forum.
- Install ANY Athena (x7500/Dopod/Ameo) ROM you wish (read around and you'll pick up on what others like)...you can do this either from Bootloader or after the ROM sets up.
- Reinstall your programs.
More Info on Phones etc
- Read through this forum
- Check the Wiki (you'll find it if you read through the forum ;-) )
- You can also read through other device threads to gather a little info on what they do. The forum has 90% of what you need already
Maybe someone else will pitch in and answer questions in more detail.....nite all!
Thx a lot Itxda,
I stayed up late also and read myself trough the forum.. took a lot of coffee and some beers Was my day&night off; was fun again to 'dive into' IT related stuff..
I came to the conclusion that I had to follow Olipro's unlock routine 1st, but it's very nice to have it confirmed!
Unfortunately I cannot get sound playing the video from Agent Bignose.. Other video's youtube etc play with sound so.. 1st have to fix that although I have a clue what the vid. msg holds..
After reading trough the - I like it better and better! - forum I expect that the re-installation of my x7500 will go smoothly. ehh hope so
Again thx for the response; If I find the time I will try to make a 'understanding x7500 for dummies' with my experiences which some of you might fine tune. Will save you Senior Members time explaining and will help me understanding the big picture better.
Is that ok with you?
Cheers,
hans

Pefection! Just let us know where you get stuck and we'll help along. Take care.
Thx ITxda!
Just one check before I go nuts; Does any of you have sound playing Bignose's Video?
Tried out on several independent systems; nada.
It's not 1st of april. So no sound probably in vid.

Hi guys,
Thanks in advance for your help!
I've got a few quick questions here: I notice some Hermes devices are shipped with WM5 and some with WM6. (please answer as many or as few questions as you can every little titbit of info greatly recieved!)
1. Mine came with WM5. Are there any advantages to upgrading to WM6?
2. I like the cooler 3D startmenu that I've seen on some other people's devices - I'm assuming this is a WM6 feature? Is it possible to get this without upgrading?
3. I'm worried about losing my programmes when doing any rom upgrades from here (been looking at a few of the cooked ones) will my registry remain in tact? If not is it possible to back up the registry and restore it?
4. I tried to perform a backup (been meaning to do it for ages) with activesync...........and discovered the function doesn't exist on the new version??? (I could do it with my blueangel!). Can I still do this?
5. What is SuperCID? I've seen it mentioned a few places? Does it tell you the location of incoming calls?
6. Lastly (and I appreciate this is a bit off-topic) does anyone know any good skinning software for PPC? Something like WiseBar but preferibly free ;-) and with good memory usage
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

I have been reading all of this stuff in search of these answers for quite some time now. Suffice it to say that dyslexia and encroaching anatomy exams (the life of a medic is full of these things) it's difficult to find time to read all of that ;-)
Any help anyone can give on any one of these points would be greatly recieved and I appologise and sympathise greatly with the attitude which creates the 'do a search' mentality so pervasive on the forums - the same things do come up all the time.
Thanks again for your help folks!
