Plz. Post any comments
(Plz. note this thread replaces http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11781 )
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

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.
Here is a new rom from the still unreleased Cingular 8525: HTC Hermes (HERM100) branded from U.S. Operator Cingular.
ROM Version: 1.30.502.1
ROM Date: 08/21/06
Radio: 1.11.00.00
Protocol: 32.47.7018.00H
As always, download link on the wiki upgrading page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
If you have questions be sure to read the Hermes wiki first, specially the Upgrading FAQs.
Notes on this ROM:
* Cingular 8525 doesn't have front camera, you'll need to install cab files from other ExtROM to enable video calling (I used TyTN ExtROM on mine).
* Left button is mapped to push-to-talk application still unavailable on the rom, so it is unuseful. You can map it to any other APP using 3rd party software to remap hardware buttons.
Enjoy
if i upgrade to the cingular 8525 rom, will my tytn still be unlocked? or will it be locked to cingular?
It will still be unlocked. The network lock doesn't depend on the rom you're using.
Guys
Any ideas as to who/what website released this ROM?

What is the OS build?

OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0), so it's AKU 2.3 as all the other available ROMs until now.
i just installed the cingular 8525 rom! and now U CANT DO A LOCK IN ON GSM OR WCDMA MODE! (that menu been removed!)
i going back to the Imate rom!
Trying it now, thanks for the link! It also seems that the MMS limit is increased to 600K!

I am on the cingular rom, and my menu exists. Go to:
Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Band -> Select your network type. The options are Auto, GSM and WCDMA.
If you don't have it by default probably it's on the ExtROM, as I said I installed the ExtROM from TyTN, try it.

Any comments as to the stability of this ROM on a TyTN?
Do we know what the different files in the EXT_ROM are for?

1) hard reset
2) do the usual alignment stuff, copy-paste, etc...
3) soft-reset before it starts installing the cingular ExtROM (customizations), you have 3 seconds
4) Unhide your extrom (you can also use fit4cat hermes tweaker for this)
5) Extract the contents of TyTN ExtROM to a folder in your miniSD card.
6) click on the CABs files you want to install, this is what I installed on mine:
From TyTN's ExtROM (on SD):
MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
MP_mHub_060630.CAB
MT_PC_Hermes_Qtek_WWE_060621.CAB
P_Generic_UI.CAB
PP_3-AP-Patch.CAB
PP_ace-certs.CAB
VT_Engine_23818_ext.CAB
From Cingular's ExtROM (unhided):
MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
T_mm1lib_DLL.CAB
MMS disapeared and I had to install the CAB 3 times, i used both from TyTN and from Cingular, then setup a default account settings and sent an MMS and received another (I sent it to myself from another mobile phone) and after that it stayed and no more problems with MMS.
I also installed the TyTN green theme (.tsk) because I like how it looks
Hope that helps.
Does the Cingular ROM or EXT_ROM contain the Cyberon VoiceDialer?
(I hope not!)
Yes, it's on the ROM but it's not mapped to any hardware button.
interesting.. BAND selection tab (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) is present in the ROM if Cingular extended ROM is not installed. it is being removed during Extended ROM installation procedure. more over, none of this Cingular CAB files are responsible for removing BAND selection (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) tab.
I have skipped Extened ROM installation, verified that BAND selection (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) band selector is still present and then installed all Cingular extended ROM cab files one by one. supprisingly enough - band selector is still there. there must be some other invisible configuration file in the extended rom. gprs connection is not auto configured either.
@superduper: probably you need to soft reset for the changes made by cab files to take effect. If you want to know which cab file disables it you have to install one, soft-reset, install another one, soft-reset and so on...
never mind

P.S. It would be goos if fit4cat will add this feature to his hermes tweaker.
Great finding
Guys, is Cing Video now activated and available as an option?
Thanks.
Is it me or does the ExtROM Unlocker only unhide the Extended ROM on this build - leaving it still read-only / protected?
I tried with fit4cat and the Hermes MountExtROM.cab but no luck modifing contents.
I have upgraded my OS from 1.23 to 2.06 (cingular OS only, no extROM).
Voice Command 1.5 installs properly but gives an error when launched
Voice Command 1.6 refuses to install at all
Both versions of VoiceCommand are French not US (though you would need to know that )
I have tried to do that just after a hard reset not to be polluted by my other apps, but I have the same result
I have tried with and without the "allow non-certified applications" flag from HTC tweak 2.0. Same result...
I got 1.5 to work on this os after a sprite restore with sbu from OS1.23, but the PIM database was corrupted. So I had to restore without it and get it back from ActivSynch. I do not think there should be a relationship between the 2 however...
1.5 was working after the twicks to remove Speed Dial as indicated on the Wiki (but with corruped PIM database)
But since I have a clean PIM database, no way to get Voice Command to work despite desinstall, clean any trace of it in the registeries and reinstall...
Any hints from the experts on the group?
That would be much appreciated as I am running out of ideas to try!
Odd,
It worked for me. Of course, knowing me I probably copied the CAB down to the device over USB and ran it there.
Of course, I'm using the english version since all the people I know have english names (joke).
Rob
I did try to install it thru a cab execution on the device as I do usualy (I like to keep all the cabs for easy reinstall if necessary)
Any hint why I get an exec error on 1.5? I would stick to it if it worked as I found some ways to get it to work with BT
Try setting all parameters in the regional settings to US. then reinstall. revert afterwards to French settings.
I have come across an other Microsoft product which needed US settings.
Simple.
Cingular OS2.06 is AKU3 = No VC1.5
MS Voice Command v1.5 will NOT work on AKU 3.x ROMs; VC v1.6 should work (does for me with Cingular 8500 w/OS 2.06)
Good Luck!

I second that! 1.5 would not work at all. Only 1.6 did on the latest Cingular AKU 3.3 ROM.
Here I have a bunch of boring ROMs for your StarTrek. I call them boring because they are devoid of any personalization, customization, or 3rd party apps other than what comes with a shipping ROM. These ROMs are OS only, will not change your initial splash or radio (but it does change the operator splash). A text file ReadMe.txt in the download contains brief instructions on how to flash this ROM. Apparently the 3.06 IPL/SPL in QTEK ROMs is broken and cannot recover via MicroSD so I would recommend updating to 4.01.0001 prior to flashing any of these ROMs, although that in itself can be risky (see below for download). Enjoy, and flash at your own risk!
Details
5.2.1711 (Build 18170.0.5.1) Core OS (SYS) is ported from T-Mobile Shadow Feb. '08 update.
OEMAPPS and OEMOPERATORS are straight from CWS 4.1.502.5 ROM. It has the latest camera and apps.
OEMDrivers specific to StarTrek are the latest, from 4.1.502.5 ROM. Some common libraries are from TMO Shadow ROM.
OEM Edition for AT&T 3125 - The same old, boring, Cingular-branded ROM you're used to, only ported to WM6. My objective with the Boring Edition is a ROM that's indistinguishable from what an OEM would put on a shipping device. This is based on Cingular ROM v4.1.502.5 with many changes made throughout to work with the WM6 core, but hopefully the changes are transparent. It comes with all the bloatware and apps that came with the original Cingular ROM. If you want lots of storage and free RAM, this is NOT the ROM for you!
Adobe Reader LE 2.0 (new, from TMO Shadow, replaces original ClearVue PDF)
Office Mobile (new, replaces original ClearVue Office suite)
Windows Live/Live Messenger (new, replaces original MSN Messenger)
Microsoft Voice Command (replaces Cyberon Voice Dial)
English-only xT9 (new, from HTC S730 "Wings", dated Sep 7, 2007, replaces older T9)
Esmertek Java (new, from TMO Shadow update, replaces discontinued Tao Intent Java)
Cingular bloatware, customization, setup, and theme
Clock/carrier block of Cingular theme changed to standard WM6 style (I liked the bigger clock).
SecurityOff (required, because some apps can't install with it on)
Clean ROM WM6 - Similar to the above (same drivers), but lacking Cingular customization and bloatware. Does NOT have Microsoft Office or Adobe Reader. This will leave more storage available for 64MB devices like QTEK 8500 or iMate Smartflip. As this is an unbranded ROM, you will need to manually set up your GPRS and Proxy connections.
Windows Live/Live Messenger (new)
English-only xT9 (dated Sep 7, 2007)
Esmertec Java
Cyberon Voice Dial
SecurityOff (required, because some apps can't install with it on)
Neo Edition Clean WM6 ROM - Same as above, only added Neo theme from the T-Mobile Shadow. No other customizations.
CREDITS
Thanks to pArtizAn (Erofich), Alex[DFR], Strik3r, and Chymmylt for use of the WM6 XIP in early versions of my ROMs. Without it, my first ROM would have been delayed 2-3 weeks.
Known Bugs - Applies to all versions.
Analog Clock 2 and Analog Clock 3 on external display don't look right. NOT a WM6 bug because the original Cingular WM5 has the same problem!
Possible xT9 can't backspace on some websites bug.
Roll your own! Here are the SYS, OEM, and ROM folders for the Clean Edition ROM. Add this to your favorite kitchen. RUU included.
For experienced ROM builders only!
Download Clean Edition Kitchen files
Other Updates
These are from the latest Cingular ROM, newest for STARTREK that I'm aware of. I have tested these and they worked fine on my phone but I am not responsible if you take the risk and they damage your phone! Flash at your own risk!
Download IPL/SPL 4.01.0001 CAUTION: Flashing IPL and SPL could kill your phone... permanently!

Change Log
Mar 6, 2008 - OEM version, single press of RECORD button activates Voice Command. Should support BT activation now. All clean versions now use the same animated HTC splash. Shows HTC logo on outside screen instead of blank (thanks Erofich). I figured how to port XIPs so all ROMs now use my own XIPs ported from scratch. Added Neo and WM6.1 editions.
Feb 21, 2008 - Fixed Vibrate in Profiles bug, possibly fixed Microsoft Live can't connect bug, updated some files (no longer have to press OK after cold boot setup), newer OS build (18170.0.5.1), newer Esmertec Java, Sim Manager, changed Cyberon Voice Dial to MS Voice Command on Boring version.
Feb 18, 2008 - Changed Tao Intent Java to Esmertec Java, T9 to xT9 on all versions. Added download links to latest radio and IPL/SPL.
Feb 16, 2008 - Added kitchen files for Clean Edition.
Feb 15, 2008 - Added Clean Edition. Changes to Boring Edition: T9 problem fixed, Start menu now allows scrolling (no need to press More), SecurityOff to fix programs can't install problem.
Feb 13, 2008 - Original Release of Boring ROM.

Extras
Clean ROM a little too clean? Here are some add-ons in CAB form.
Adobe Reader LE 2.0 Build 288531 (from T-Mobile Shadow)
Neo Black & Blue Theme - Only works on ROMs with Neo integrated. Not just a simple color change, I tried to copy the mockup of T-Mobile Black. It looks almost identical to the mockup on my PC, but unfortunately the conversion from 16.7m to 65k colors results in some false contouring.
thanks man!!
does gprs work in this one?

Changes
Behind-the-scenes changes were numerous, but visible changes are minimal (although I did make a few):
Office Mobile replaces ClearVue apps. Most devices that used ClearVue in WM5 were changed to Office Mobile in WM6 so monkey see, monkey do.
Adobe Reader LE 2.0 from TMO Shadow replaces ClearVue PDF.
Clock/carrier block of Cingular theme changed to standard WM6 style (I liked the bigger clock).

Will this work on i-mate SmarkFlip (out of box device without any hacks)
Yes, GPRS works, but I use T-Mobile so I had to add a connection to T-Mobile GPRS. It should work with Cingular/AT&T as-is.
It should work on a SmartFlip, but I'm not sure if you need to CID unlock first.
Downloading and installed...
Attempt 1: Read everything within the Word file. Installed right from the RomUpdate program in the root directory of your
WM6 update. Didn't work, so I will attempt what you have in the Readme text file in my next attempt....
Attempt 2: The Update Utility program says version 3.12.3.1 on the title while the pictures you have in the word file says
version 2.99. Also, when I go through to update ROM, it verifies my current Image version as 4.1.502.5,
I click Update and the next screen it indicates that it will be updating from my current version to the
new version of 1.00.000.0. Then, a minute or so later, I get the following message:
ERROR [270] : UPDATE ERROR Image file is corruprted. Please check your Update Utility.
Do you know how I could resolve this matter because you do not list error 270
within your troubleshooting material? Your UpDate program is not even the same version!
Vista Home, Cingular 3125 unlocked with current released Rom version. So, what am I missing here?
Sorry, I shouldn't have included the Word doc, it's the standard doc that came with the RUU and happened to be in the folder at the time.
Are you using SoftSPL? You MUST use the SoftSPL, it won't work to just run the RUU. The doc I wrote is ReadMeWM6.txt.
You also need to CID unlock according to the sticky thread.

@kumar00455,
GnatGoSplat noted that this should work on any StarTrek, but there is something you should be aware of. In the past, it seems like a lot of people that have tried a Cingular ROM on a StarTrek that is not a 3125 model have not liked it, because they ended up with too little storage memory. This is because Cingular has loaded a ton of large crapware programs on their ROMs. Now, that isn't a big problem for the 3125, because it is actually different hardware from all other StarTreks - it has double the storage memory (128MB) all the other StarTreks (which have 64MB). Since GnatGoSplat has tried to make this just like a Cingular ROM, with all the added programs, you may find you have the same problem. However, I do think there is a thread here somewhere that talks about how to clean all the crapware off of a Cingular 3125 ROM and reclaim some storage memory.
@GnatGoSplat,
Thanks for putting this together - I think I will try it soon on my 3125! I would be very interested in a cleaned-up version and a kitchen as well. And of course, many thanks to Erofich and everyone else who worked on getting WM6 on the StarTrek. I thought we would never see this day!
Oh yeah, I forgot the 3125's have double the storage memory!
I'll make a slimmer, cleaner ROM as soon as enough people have tried this one to confirm it doesn't have any significant problems.
What apps are essential to keep in a cleaner ROM and which can go? What are typical apps that come on a Smartflip or 8500?
device PIN lock working?
Can anyone who has tried this ROM tell me if the security PIN lock works correctly without any problems? I sync my 3125 with my corporate Exchange server, and our IT people enforce a device PIN lock requirement through the Exchange server. So I have to enter a 6 digit PIN if the phone has been idle over an hour. Anyway, I'm interested in flashing this ROM, but if there is any problem with that functionality in this ROM, it would be a deal-killer for me... Thanx...

Oh yeah, I forgot the 3125's have double the storage memory!

I do like your approach here, though. Start with something as much like the carrier ROM as possible until you know that it's pretty stable, then put it on a nice diet to make it lean and mean. Makes good sense to me...

Put it in the root of your device /not/ Windows. Start softspl.lnk as it says in the manual
I tried to use the program you directed the user to transfer. Everytime I clicked on it, I would get an error which stated that the link's program could not be found.
Don't get me wrong over here, I read the directions a few times and did everything you instructed. I am pretty good with directions and I am not one for doing things my own way. If I could help in anyway, just say something. I have alot of times on my hands and I am educated in matters, like, programming on my home desktop.
I made several attempts, I still get the same error, time and time again.
Are you trying to run the correct SPL? The one that looks like a square with a blue bar on top is the correct one. The one that looks like a piece of paper with the corner folded and a Microsoft icon in the center is NOT the right one.
Also, copy ONLY the files and NOT the whole folder. All these files need to be on ROOT folder of your device. If you're using ActiveSync, when you open your device icon, it defaults to My Documents so you have to go to My Device.
Okay, there we go. I copied the entire folder. Sorry. :O(
I'll make a new attempt in just a few.
UPDATE: I tried it, and now instead of an error, it just doesn't do anything. Sorry.
GnatGoSplat -
Thanks man, this ROM has been perfect so far. Just like my previous cingular rom with WM5. You did a superb job. This is just what I was looking for. Thanks Again!

Its worth the wait!!
Thanks
Thanks for the reply i got it working now
The newest version of TomTom Navigator supports non touch screen devices.
I stumbled in this information by accident and thought it would be usefull over here.
I've tested it on a HTC StarTrek (qtek 8500 etc) with a WM 6.1 standard ROM and it works like a charm with the newest maps.
No more FakeCursor needed, you can scroll and use numeric keypad.
Version is: 7.915.9196.
Because of slightly warez related.....google is our best friend.
That's nice,
I can't even get it installed on my device. Always says installation unsuccesful.
I also have WM6.1 and same version of Tomtom.
Do you have any ideas?
If you have an older version installed on your device just unzip the new cab on your PC and rename following files:
TOMTOM~1.001 --> TomTom Navigator.exe
0000DATA.002 --> data.chk
Put the 2 renamed files in the same folder as your original installation (overwrite).
This should work.
If you don't have TT on your device, check if it's application unlocked, if not make sure it is and try again.
If nothing works, try to find a TTN 7 version that you don't have to install at all (it does excist) and use the two renamed files from above to upgrade if needed.
pm me if your out of options.
Hope it helps.

Gps bt-com ttn7 wm5
Ciao,
thank you very much for this information, i just tryed out TTN7 on my StrTrk with the original WM5 ROM.
It seems, that you need the "BLUE" Version of TomTom Navigator 7, because scrolling in the "Black" Version isn't possible and additonal, hitting the "enter" Button causes a doubleclick.
So TomTom is running and seems to be a lot faster than TTM5.2, especially entering cities now works fine.
Everythings fine so long, BUT TTN7 won't finde my BT-GPS-Mouse: Selecting the mous is similar to TTM'5.2 but I need to choose the Com-Port...but non of the four alternatives work: it should be "Serial over Com1" but TomTom won't connect. I have TTM5.2 still installed...and it works fine with the GPS Reciever...(of course its paired, and on etc...)
Does anyone has an idea or the same prob?
thx
