I have installed the T-mobile 1.72 Beta ROM update on my O2 XDA. Everything has installed just fine and it appears to be working great. The addition of the Fax module is really welcome although a little buggy has allowed me to send a number of faxes.
The BT stack now gives me an extra option on my Widcom BT software on my desktop pc. It seems much more stable than the O2 stack.
My only problem is that all my MMS, SMS, GPRS and WAP settings are for T-Mobile UK and not O2 Ireland. I have tried to enter them manually with little success.
After reading through some of the other threads would it be possible to take the relevant cab files from an O2 1.60 (latest ROM) Extended ROM and copy them onto my PDA and then run them to install the settings? I also miss the O2 Active screen and would like to install that as well. If this is possible could and please tell me that it is!!!! Would someone be kind enough to send me the relevant Cab files?
Many thanks in advance for any help or advice.

I think its posted on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8515
On page 2. There is a modified extendend rom.
Thanks for the mail
I have downloaded the extended ROM that you mentioned but it seems to just contain the T-Mobile stuff. I would like a copy of the O2 Extended ROM if possible and just install the O2 settings and Active.
Thanks

If you have an old backup, you can replace that with the new one you have now. And then runt the desired CAB files (Camera, mms, andsoon) from the new 1.72 upgrade.
Here you go mate...
Attached is a ZIP file, containing a folder.
In it, are ALL the O2 files found in an O2 Extended ROM, as per 1.60.00 ROM Upgrade, O2 WWE.
I am not sure exactly which CAB is the settings file (can anyone tell me what the GPRS settings file CAB is called in an extended ROM), so you will have to find it yourself.
It also includes the O2 Active stuff.
Hope it helps.
Download it quick, becuase I'm not sure the legalities of posting it here, and also its a big file, so using up a lot of my space, so I wanna delete it soon.
Thanks
Thanks Shadamehr
I downloaded the ROM ran the Cabs and I now have O2 connection settings and O2 active. Thank you so much.
My next project is to copy the o2 files to the extended 1.72 ROM so that if I require a hard reset it will install the O2 stuff and the newer 1.72 files etc.
Out of interest the application for unhiding and unlocking the Extended ROM requires the sending of "arguments" how do you do this on Pocket PC. i am familiar with doing this on a desktop PC. Any help would again be appreciated.
Thanks to you all.

Er, you've totally lost me mate.
For the Unlocker, all I do, is copy the cab file for it over to my XDA2, then use File Manager on the XDA2 to locate the file, and click to run.
This installs it.
Then, if you go into programs, there is a new folder, next to games, for the extRom tools.
Open that, and you can hide/unhide, and lock/unlock the extended ROM.
It sometimes requires a soft reboot.
When it is unlcoked and unhidden, you can simply delete all files in it, and copy the whole O2 folder contents into it that I posted.
Then, after a hard reset, it will install all the programs in the extended rom.
Not sure what all these 'argument' things are you mention mate, sorry.
Sorted!!!
Did not see the programme group had been using the application via the file explorer and it was asking for "arguments". Thanks for the help.

I would like to add the fonix voicedial application to my XDA2. I noted on the "my-xda.com" website that this application is supposed to be on the companion CD that comes with a XDA2.
Not mine!, purchased just 2 weeks ago.
My CD version is V1.0 sept 2003
Can anybody tell me if there is a later release that has it on please.
Can't see anywhere on the O2 websites where to download it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks I updated rom and installed the applications, works a treat.
Just got to re-install tomtom.
Thanks again
Chris
Two questions :
- Is it free ?
- Does it work on Qtec and T-Mobile MDA too ? (the app_suite_.exe i mean )
Yes its free,
I would assume it would work providing you are running the updated Rom.
I had to update to 1.72.00 WWE, before I could install the appsuite.
Good luck
Chris
That's weird, I'm running on 1.72.00WWE and it does not let me install...
Any ideas?
Rayan, did you try installing to a bare configuration, ie before restore?
It is not the OS version that counts (although it probably would have to be 1.72.00WWE) , but the extrom version (1.72.181 / 1.72.187). but i don't know which registry entries are important for this validation.
Doing a restore after upgrade does overwrite the registry (like cruisin implied).
Can anyone post the individual cabs inside this application suite?
I can have a look to make it more "ExtROM version independent"
(ie that it will also work with my 1.72.902 ROM)
I tried to create the myself from the appsuite.
Fonix cab seems to be faulty. Any experience with this?
Couldn't it be possible to just install the Fonix Voicedial on just any rom available?
That shouldn't be a problem is it?

I am not able to install any of this software.... Please Edsub maybe you can do something...
I am more than happy to sort this out, BUT: I need to get hold of a correct Fonix cab file. The one in the posted app. suite is faulty and cannot be used.
ah, logging on helps.
Thanks superperry.
i will have a look at the cabs.
bollocks!
The Fonix cab you posted is faulty too.
The cab identifies as a ZIP cabinet, instead of a WinCE Cabinet.
Also WinCE Cab manager is not able to open it, just crashes. Same as with my copy of the Fonix cab.
The other two cabs are fine.
Just by looking at the TrueFax cab I bet the version checking is doen via a new setup.dll. This should be do-able. Plz have a little patience as I do have a real job to do too . . .

:twisted: I guess they gave us faulty file, huh! :!:
Don't worry edsub, we can wait. :wink:
This is the file downloaded directly from O2.
Thanks dcs, the file you posted is exactly the same as the one I extracted the cabs from . . .
Did ANYONE try to get the Fonix Voicedial to run on their Himalaya??
What happened?
Did the install on the Himalaya run?
Did the app itself run?
Any error messages?
This Fonix cab is something different from all the other cabs I know of.
BTW: dcs, did you get Fonix installed (you seem to have a new 1.72.187 rom version on O2)??

Yes I did. It runs, but haven't done much with it yet.
mmm, I guess we have to conclude that O2 (or Fonix) have found themselves a new method of installing software on the Himalaya . . .
@dcs: Do you remember whether the install ran as silent as other (normal) installs on the Himalaya? Did you see the zip-manager get used for installing (I ask this because the Fonix cab shows up like a zip-type of cab, instead of like a WinCE cab)
I just put together the following pieces

8-11-2004 20:57 GMT: New version V2 uploaded.
I added a small archive containing the changed ExtROM files to solve the earlier reported errors (not updating ExtROM version and not making IIWPO un-installable).
Comment on IIWPO and making it un-installable: After having customized & installed IIWPO, you will have to do one of the following to make it un-installable if youre using the 1.72.902 ExtROM:
a. Another hard-reset
b. Running Version_172_902.cab from the ExtROM
NOTE: This thread is being replaced by
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=68652#68652
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am d/l'ing right now and will be installing shortly...
One request... You might want to include the cab for setting up IIWPO in case someone is installing it into the phone.
edsub Thanks.
Question tho. Can I use this for T-Mobile USA and does it fix the MMS problem ?
asking because the version says NL, isnt that the Netherlands country code ?
Thanks again
Well from first look everything seemed ok.
THese are a few of the things I have noticed since loading.
1. The ext rom version # doesn't show up in the info
2. If you use the IIWPO then it still shows in the remove list
3. The new apps from the 187 version will not install no matter what you do. (I have tried adding the ver # in the Reg, both 902, and 187 (not at same time)) Niether worked.
These are the few things that I have found since loading. If I find any more I will loet you know. Other than these I think you havea winner here!
I was wondering about the streaming MMS, the new bluetooth stack, and some of the other new versions of software that came in the 181,187 packages, and why you didn't include or update to them? Was there some incompatibality issue?
Thanks and great job!

Is SRS included?
SRS is not included due to the fact that I don't see any use for it personally. Since it is an ExtROM installer, you could add it yourself.
The NL is only there because some sdetting are more or less specific to the Netherlands. I had feedback on my earlier 1.72.901 package that it worked for other countries (incl USA) as well. Be prepared that the date format will be dutch by default (easy to change via settings though).
Also MMS is suposed to be working (but I have not tried it due to lack of interest in MMS)
The ExtRom# is not showing because some bug in the Version_172_902.cab. Working on that now.
IIWPO not showing in the remove programs list is a bit more difficult than it seems if you install for the first time. Normally you would boot up the device with new rom. IIWPO is NOT installed at this point. Once you have customised & installed IIWPO, you will have to do ANOTHER hard-reset (ie run the ExtRom contents again) to disable the uninstall. You could force this by hand first time to re-run Version_172_902.cab after installing the customised IIWPO. BUT as this cab is not OK, it wont work anyway. Working on that now.
I did not find the time to look into the new O2 apps. If someone finds a solutiuon here, I am more than happy to includew it in a new version.
For the streaming MMS, the new bluetooth stack, and some of the other new versions of software that came in the 181,187 the basic reason is lack of time. I dont know what 'extra' new there is on bluetooth in the O2 builds? OS Rom 1.72 allready has an updated BT stack that fixes most open issues. I have no experience (& interest) in MMS / streaming MMS . . .
I suppose the issue with TomTom locking up without GPS enabled is not solved with this rom ?
I know: wishful thinking..........
@Pleun: Nope. I WISH I would have solved that one!!! FYI: I tested he new TomTom GPS 3.07. It doesnt solve any locking issue and next to that makes my Headset react very slow. Also the 'Bluetooth GPS' option that is supposed to solve the locking has gone, at least with my installation. Not advisable. I reverted back to TomTom GPS 3.03.
@all: I solved the issue of not setting the Ext Rom version and making IIWPO non-uninstallable. New version V2 will be up in 10mins (incl. incremental fix for all that downloaded the version from yesterday).
New V2 is up now. See first post in thread.
Plz keep posting comments to make this upgade better

I feel like my MDA2 is a little bit slower to respond not sure why! I added PocketMVP, Belkin Bluetooth GPS, Resco Explorer 2003 V5.0 and .NET Compact Framework 1.0 SP2 for Pocket PC 2003.
I am having problem with Belkin BT GPS; I got it to bond, detect the COM port (COM5) and baud rate(4800) to use but my MDA2 hangs up and had to soft reset. Any idea why?
I will try to install one by one and see what's causing it and report here.
edsub thanx for me it works great its a great improvement!
machine seems faster and no more lock-ups.
Keep up the good work (ill be following you)
p.s only one thing my battery seems to give me no more than 4 hours of on-time
4 hours is very different from my (and others!) experience. The 1.72 rom should even improve battery life.
My battery lasts for about 1,5 days (not measured but recalled from my memory) with approx 1-1.5 hours on the phone and bluetooth permanently switched on . . .
were can I download this rom from?
from the first msg in this thread : RUU172902WWE_eDsuBsofT V2.exe
Hi me again, dont want to sound stupid but I've tried both Opera and Explorer and cannot find any executable file in the first post. Normally it appear in some sort of info box but none to be seen on this thread and the link to the previous one!?!?! Is this something to do with XP SP2?

You cannot download it as a guest! If you are a member of this forum you have to log-in before you can see the file you want to download. That's what I encountered before so just try logging in first.
Good luck!
THank you very much superperry. Should have registered before but was always too lazy.
I have put together rom upgrade 1.72.903
This thread can be closed. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=68652#68652 for the new one
Edit: The new upgrade files are now available (see refered post)
An error need help please
I downloaded the files then followed the instruction below but now I get error
the flashing process
first the devicedata is obtained from the device, with HimaGetDeviceData.exe, this gets the operatorname, and language/country code from the extended rom, sector 2 of the BDK.
Then a tool 'HimaClearJumpCode' is executed, which erases the jump at the start of the kernel. causing the bootloader to start at next reboot.
the upgrade tool then connects to the bootloader of the xda, via serial over usb. ( port \\.\WCEUSBSH001 )
warning do not just run the 'HimaClearJumpCode' program, it will erase part of your OS rom, after which you will have to repair your device by running an entire upgrade again.
Ok gang i have been lurking around for a while and im finally deciding to upgrade my phone. for my short background, i have done this on my old magician (once) and a friends t-mobile magician (once) as well, but now i want all the new gadgets and speed for my hermes. for the record i am currently a Cingular/ATT customer living in Orlando, FL where there is great 3G coverage.
here is what i have:
herm100
ipl 1.01
spl 1.06
ROM version 1.34.502.1
ROM date 09/21/06
Radio version 1.16.00.00
Protocol version 32.53.70.18.01H (i am not sure what this one means though...)
here is what i am planning to do (in the exact order of which i will run them so if my order isnt right please tell me):
HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a
Hard-SPL-V7.rar package
HERM_Radinly_1.43.00.00_CustomRUU.rar (unless anyone thinks the 46 or 47 version would be better for ATT in my area)
Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v2.0_ATT.rar
CVSD_1.2_061226.rar
HomePlugIn_1.6.0.0.rar
vp3G_v2.0_CommManager.rar *edit* (yes i know the comm manager must be closed for this one too) *edit*
vp3G_v2.0_StreamingMedia_PATCH.rar
XM_Radio.rar (may install this later)
MobiTV .rar (may install this later)
TCPMP_v0.72RC1.exe
ac3.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
flac.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
ffmpeg.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
vorbislq.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
and that should be it i hope!!!! also, i think i remember needing a codec to play xvids through tcpmp but i cannot find anything that i have archived on my computer... so if anyone has that please let me know.
if there are any other precautionary measures that i can take PLEASE let me know. i 'somewhat' understand how the hardspl works, is that the only protection i have? should i clear up my phones memory? i doubt there is anything like a 'scandisk' or anything for the type of memory the phone uses but i just want to be 1000000% sure that this flash will be successful thats all. thanks guys up front for a great community and any help is GREATLY appreciated.
yeah, do HardSPLv7 first... Then do the Unlocker... then do whatever you want.

No do the unlocker first...it loads HardSPL (1.40.oli) onto the device....it will downgrade the SPL if you run it second.
Once that is done...load HardSPLv7 onto it.
Then follow the list you said.
great!! i just wanted to verify that my particular build (i know there are herm100, 200 and 300 now) would fit the bill.
few more quick q's...
if i ever wish to, can this phone be put back to factory settings and be completely untraceable, or am i making permanent changes to the spl?
also as far as i am aware, overclocking is not available (hopefully i can use the word 'yet' here ) for my device is this correct?
lastly- without outlook (on my computer), is there any way to back up my contacts. not just the sim card, i mean email addresses and everything? i am sure there are some encrypted files somewhere on the device that i can just manually copy and paste when i am done.
and after that, ill be flashing it all over and post the results.. and thanks both of you for the quick responses!!! i will do the unlocker first, thanks for deterring me from that hiccup

OK.....i will answer these qs but you do need to read the wiki so you DEFINATLY understand the different aspects of the hermes...
The device can be downgraded to normal (like factory settings)....see the guides in my sig for more info.
Overclocking....dont even bother...the restriction is in the ROM....later ROMs use the cpu much better.
If you want to backup contacts etc...either use PIMBackup (search this forum for it) or get an exchange account which will sync contacts/emails/tasks etc..
the IPL is still 1.01, can this be upgraded or does it not make a difference?
ok i am trying to run Hard-SPL-V7...

from what the previous screens told me, the SIM and CID unlock was successful and my current IPL is 1.4 from using the programs in 'HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a.rar'
please help!!!!!

Sorry, that is when i try to run it from the phone itself. when i run it on the computer it says 'The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.

You need to install ALL the latest .net framework packages from Microsoft on your PC, the file is meant to run on your pc NOT your hermes.
you guys are the best and so is this site!!!
last question...
i downloaded the 'vp3G's WM6 v2.0' ROM and added the patch for 'vp3G_v2.0_StreamingMedia_PATCH.cab ' but i still cannot watch videos on youtube or any site of the likes? the page gives me an error saying 'Hello, you either have Javascript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.'
i cannot find java or macromedia that works on windows mobile... what can i use??? i am finding some stuff on javaME but nothing i can comprehend or download...
lol, when I tried to do the Unlocker first it temp-bricked my phone.. I had to reflash old rom, then run hardspl then the unlocker in that order.
Use google and search for 'Flash Player for Pocket PC'
it will give you the link to Adobe Flash Player
