iphone
hey thanks for all the help so far! i've got 2003 loaded and want to mod it to look like iphone now is there a good way of doing this or should i continue to put to geather my own from parts of others work?
do a search for iphone skins in the forum there are tons!
and such skins are not taylor'd for specielt devices as a rule
most programs made for windows mobile work for all devices
better mods
i hate to be a bother but the best most complete iphone mods need wm5 or higher! is there a way to get this old wallaby up to wm5?
or should i just keep hacking togeather my own?
P.S. Thanks for all the help you guys are great!
esn hex?? Cricket??
Hey guys I got a good rom in and got a mostly working iphone mod going too.
Now i would like to put this phone on my Cricket account and they say all they need is a esn # and hex#, do you know how i could get these #'s or do i need to flash the rom to something else to make it compatible with the cricket perpaid system?
it been a while guess this is not posable?
The wallaby is a gsm phone, cricket runs on cdma (sprints i believe, correct me if im wrong) they two networks are not compatible

Hi all.
I've just joined this Forum, because I think my Qtek 1010 is a great device, which I want to use as wide as possible though I am a non-tech. I saw this Forum and I am very impressed and amazed of all what's going on here. I can clearly see that there is a lot to learn about my device and I also realize that people posting here knows A LOT about PDA's. But I hope reading all the great topics will help me better understand what happens inside my PDA and maybe even make me able to do things myself.
I would like to upgrade my Qtek from PPC2002PE to PPC2003PE. Having read the warnings about upgrades I am a little confused and also afraid to screw up. My device has ROM version 3.14.06.ENG, Radio version T313 and Protocol version 32S54. So far it has never been updated before. I bought it in Denmark, where no updates are available.
I would really appreciate if someone has detailed step by step (as I saw another user call "dumbass") suggestions on what to do (right versions of ROM and Radio versions etc....).
Sincerely,
Luffe
Ok here you go!
Updating your Qtek ROM using the 'SD Card' or 'Bootloader' Method
http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1717
Just ignore the radio updates unless your carrier issues one for your device. For a ROM upgrade, find the link to Jeff's Kitchen and create yourself a PPC 2003 custom ROM in .exe form, download it, and run it with the device in the cradle. Simple as that.
You will, of course, lose all data on the device. DO NOT restore a full backup. You can selectively restore non-system files and data.
Hi,
Noticed lots of progress with the WM2005 for XDAII project and want to congratulate everyone involved for their hardwork.
I wanted some feedback on the upgrade process from those that have done it, how did they find the upgrade process, is the device working as intended (if not, how much of the device is funtional) etc.
I am currently running my own cooked WM2003SE Rom with v1.19 Radio and it works great, everything works with out a glitch and I have not had any issues for over a year - I would like to try a copy of WM2005 in the hope that I will get the same functionality as I currently have.
The only thing putting me off right now is lack of info as to how it works, what problems are there such as not being able to downgrade if I need to etc. Just basic concerns really.
I want to get my hands on a fully working rom image for my XDAII as I do allot of pocket PC development and would like to start working on apps geared towards Windows Mobile 5.0.
Cheers,
Fz
yo this is my first post, i have only had my xdaii for about two weeks and have upgraded to wm2005, i think in some respects it is better than 2003, but it has some issues like camera button and record button not working, but there is software to resolve these issues. one other bad point is that that you cant seem to copy your contacts, there is a program calleed asukal sim manager but this doesnt work either. the way to fix it is to go into to the windows folder and find a FILE called simuploader and this does it all for you, some of the plus points is it is much easier to extend your rom, and when you install programs it gives you the option as to where you would like to save it storage program etc. to answer another question yes you can flash back to 2003 as i have gone back to 2003 se and have since changed the rom several times. I hope some of this info is ok for you......
Can anyone confirm or deny that either of the two programs work with the brand new rom?
They didn't with 3.27. There also is a newer version of Card Export out now.
Still not working for me on the official 3.35 ROM. I'd love to get this fixed. That was an essential feature for me and it sucks not having it.
Were you referring to Card Export II 3.08 or WM5torage?
both....
I was running Card Export 3.06, so when I saw your post I was hoping 3.08 would work. Installed it and still no love. This sucks.
Edit: I submitted a bug report at Softick's website. Here's hoping for a resolution
WM5torage 1.75 works with the new rom.
Not working for me. Did you do anything special? What ROM are you running? I'm on the official Sprint 3.35 release.
Also posted at PPCGeeks,
For those interested in Card Export/WM5torage:
I don't know about everyone else, but the ability to use my phone as a flash drive for transfering files is a huge advantage for me. Activesynce/WMDC blows, and is not installed on every computer. Since the update to 3.XX ROMs, neither of these programs has worked (at least for me). I've been in touch with Softick (makers of Card Export) and I think we will have a solution soon. I've run some debug programs for them and they have developed a working version. Not sure when the final release will be, but hopefully soon. I was amazed at how responsive their team was. The day after I emailed them, the developer was in contact with me. I ran some debug programs, and the next day he had a working test version for me to try. Really awesome to see them working that quickly to develop a fix. If I hear anything about the final release I'll post again. Just thought some people might want to know.

is this inaccurate information??
i have both working on dcd 3.01 rom with the new 3.35 radio. I also discovered a way to unhide the extrom in dcd's kitchen and without the bug that happens when u follow this links suggestion : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ghlight=EXTRom
I have the phone recognize my extrom as a Mounted Volume or a harddrive for a lack of a better term. This means that since it is recognized as other than an extension of the primary, u could get files to treat it like a 2nd harddrive, maybe have a two OS's installed at 1 time. ( wm5 and then wm6 ) just boot into which 1 u want to use. or im working on trying to get the WM^ to treat it like a swap file for extra 10mb of memory. swap files r treated just like system memory by the Operating system.
any how u just have to make some reg changes and u are in business

would you care to further explain exactly how you got wm5torage and card export working on dcd's 3.01 rom with the new 3.35 radio? cause i jus tried both on the same rom and it's a no go for me, using the computer operating system windows XP. i have seen them work in linux.
well first i have the security and encryption off/ second, my version of both those progs are cracked, so they have been altered and third i thinks got something to do with the fact that i use QPST program which i have both 6700 and 6800 usb drivers on my phone. i use the 6700 usb drivers for that program and possibly thats what is making those programs work. U know because i havent had a problem with them i never thought about it./ but i couldnt but a 100 percent sure, but it would be my best guess. besides from my last post u can see that i have been messing with my extrom in which i use the 2 progs to help me with
how'd u get the 6700 usb drivers on your phone? u cooked it in using dcd's kitchen? where'd u get the 6700 drivers from? the apache kitchen??
card export II seemed to work w/ linux for me (did an "ls" to see the directory listing), However, when used with Server 2003 (my regular desktop that has activesync), it mounted itself, but when I went to see the drive, it was empty.
exactly the same for me. works in linux...and is visible but empty in windows. wonder how bunvilla got it to work. he's the only one so far that's been able to get them working.
says the drivers from the 6700 is on his 6800...sounds very likely to work that way but.....wonder how he got the drivers from the 6700??
Hopefully they will figure out something soon. This program is really helpful.
i want to make sure we are on the same page ok. When i use that program I only have access to my SD card. I cant access my phone folders. So when im at work and i want to save something to my sd card i turn on Card Export II 3.08 and then the little green light comes on and in a minute it shows up when i click "my computer" icon. But u know something ever since i changed the extrom to Mounted Volume ( no i didnt just rename the Extrom to Mounted Volume) it shows up too as a little 9mb removeable drive right below my Sd card.
so in the main directory there are 2 extra removable drives that shows up, and the only thing i can think of is my SDcard is formatted fat32.
Oh and by the way i didnt extract the 6700 usb drivers from a 6700 phone, i got them from a website and i rename my usb drvs for the 6800 and use the 6700 usb drvs and then switch when im done.
someone told me that i was doing it the hard way but it works for me. hope this helps some,
there are those times when stuff jus doesnt work for everyone else. sound like a lucky dude and congrats...cause NO ONE else can get it to work. not even the company who created the program. they're supposed to be working on a fix now.
well u know something else that i have that nobody else seems to have is the extrom , on my version of DCD' 3.01 everyone else seem to have issues with that too. at best they get extrom and extrom2 showing up when they use No2chem unlock extrom in the root directory of thier phone. I include a thumb shot of my root and u will see that i not only fixed that issue i also have the extrom show up as a removable drive and it changed from extrom to Mounted Volume and i didnt rename it that, it happened because of the reg edits i made and flashdrv.dll i used. im surprised that doesnt get your curiosity. I can both read and write to it, might even be able to add it to the pagepool. im working it right so i will let u know if i succeed .
WM5torage 1.8 hacked version working
Hey all. Found this on one of the kaiser forums.
I can verify that I have successfully used this cab on my sprint mogul with OLD stock rom 2.17
The steps required are as follows:
1.Install hacked cab below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=69221&d=1202300677
2.Soft Reset
3.Click yes to install card export and then OK to error messages
4.Open WM5torage and disable rndis
Note:According to thread, this will not work if you have ever installed card export on your system. Not sure why
Note 2: I am using 512microsd card with stock rom. I am about to reflash (for a change) and will repost later with my custom rom based on new 3.35

it gets my curisoty as well. one thing i have to say is it appears your level of geekiness is definitely a step above mines. u're a smart guy man. would be nice if you could maybe dump that rom of yours for us and maybe create a bunvilla's rom based off dcd's 3.01 with wm5torage and a mountable extrom working. im almost certain it would get a substantial amount of users.
Alright, I'm pretty new to this whole forum so I'll just cut to the chase.
Not sure if this is the right section but here it goes:
I have an i-Mate JAMin with Windows Mobile Version 5.0 OS 5.1.70,
I'm looking to update it to Windows Mobile 6 as I hear it gives better performance and uses less battery. So what would be the best way of doing this? No idea where to start frankly as I don't want to brick the phone or screw it up. If someone could lead me in the right direction that would be great . I also just went to install ActiveSync on my computer today as the phone kept saying I needed it but apparently ActiveSync on Windows Vista is: Windows Mobile Device Center so I have that installed now if that helps.
Thanks.
Oh and another question a bit off this thread topic is I'm looking to purchase a memory card, Apparently this phone only supports up to 2gb sd card memory.. Though I've heard people using 4gb and 8gb Sd cards in there JAMin phones...
PLEASE first read the first topic before "cutting to the chase" and then write about problems with understanding all in the same topic
but anyways whats doe is done so shortly you can get a flash program like lazytools
but i you want to do it yourself youll have to plug your ppc in the computer, download hspl ,a program for your ppc which will turn your display white, and then run your flash program from your pc follow the steps and wait 10 mins
and every reflash will need you t flash back to original wm5 rom
for more questions search other topics or the wiki page

look at the lazy tool forum... trhe you will find everything to update your smartphone to wm 6, 6.1 or the newest 6.5
Any chance someone could help me through it? Would be appreciated...
I'm mostly a business user and neither Android or WP7 can fully do what poor little 6.5 can do as of now.
I did search this & saw in a link in:
HTC Leo: HD2HD2 Windows Phone 7HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A and General
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922030
but I thought that since 6.5 would have to be ported to an SD card, this topic shoould be in HD2 6.5 section? So I thought I'd start a thread here for any news or updates....
I know Cotulla/DFT is working on it. I would imagine there'd be a great interest in this. I personally can't wait.
Also a Question:
If/when it is ported, would a ROM have to be specifically made for each port i.e. Dutty ROM or KWBR ROM or would you be able to drop any ROM onto SD card?
I guess with 300,000+ subscribers I'm the only one....

I'm sorry if i come off as impatient. I'm really not. Just thought if the interest level was high, it would be more likely to happen sooner. I'll live just fine with what i got until it happens.
Me too
Would be great.
"poor little 6.5 can do as of now"....
well in my opinion it's not., my 6.5 is a BEAST! thats why i didnt switch yet to wp7 or android.. winmo 6.5 is the main source of everything stable and fast.. without it there will be no wp7 and android on our hd2..
Hi, I also would like this to happen, as i have inported WP7 to my HD2 which is good but lacks good apps.
As for WP7 im looking for a good sat nav like Tomtom and Copilot live 8, but they both say that they are not making one for WP7.
Thats why I would like to run WP7 and have a SD bootable WM6.5 for Tomtom or Copilot which I had before on my HD2 WM6.5
So please can someone make one
I to think being able to boot Window Mobile 6.5 from SD would be really awsome. We all know that the DFT has annouced they are working on makeing this possible but I beleive this is going to be even harder and take much longer than Andriod did. You have to take into consideration the meir size of the Windows Mobile 6.5 OS is so much bigger than other OS's. So compiling all the code to work in a SD format is going to take time.But if anyonr can do it the DFT are the ones. I really wish there was something I could do to help those vuys out with this venture, but I am not versed enough with writting and compiling code yet to be of any real assistance.
Kudoes to the DFT and all thier hard work.
wm6.5 to sd card
hi,
this is exactly what i wish, i hav tried wp7 on hd2 android sd version, but what makes wm6.5 as my preferd os is
- wm6.5 is less dependant on cellular data connectivity
-ease of access to file system through file explorer and total commonder, though android has evolved from very little to a lot better explore but still u cant beat the wm6.5
- a lot of file and work can be accessed & edited if u wish to work offline
- wp7 & android have made user more dependant on online storage of documents & programs so i feel like being dependant on the online storage
- Most important point is that the progrem setup cabs can be saved on the device and it gives the ease and conveniance to install mod or work back to user coustomization without the need to connect to the desktop/laptop or data connection.
So all in all wm6.5 is still preferable as a choice as one of the os if there is dual boot(in my case wp7&wm6.5 dual boot)
all i can say is though i do like wp7 but until it gives evolves to the freedom & ease offer wm6.5 i think we feel the need of having wm6.5 sd port/rom.
if any developer will be working on porting wm6.5 to sd card i will be happy to contribute to him.
Please if any developer is already doing so then kindly point me to that place
My gut feeling is this won't happen :-(
saving setups
@pinkjpr: there's a solution for your last problem, though it's a bit complicated. Install your program via the marketplace. Then also need ASTRO file manager (probably other tools, maybe even free ones, will be suitable as well). Now go to tools-->SD-Backup Manager (or something like that, can't remember the name). Chose the program you want to backup, click the "save" button (or similarly named). Now you can use the search function to look up your newly created apk (distinguish between them via date of creation). Tap and hold +send via mail or connect your phone to the PC and copy the apk on your computer.
The first step (Backup Manager) isn't always necessary.

Anon1811:-
My friend, u r missing my point,. please correct me if i m wrong, but apk files are for android os, just like the cab files in wm6.x, and i am referring about wm6.x & wp7,
secondly most of the android applications are web based and advertizement sponcered so u need a working data connection to use most of them (i m not saying all of them). & that brings u back to working internet data, and if u are in a remote location where u dont have network then u hav only limited functionality& cant use most of apps, so the device is more like a flash light or a paper waight,
finally about customization, i am not saying backup restoration, i am saying a fresh installation with what ever apps u want to use again and leave the ones u dont wish to,
and lastly u are saying to connect to PC/Laptop, so again u must carry ur laptop with you so u back to the dependence on PC & data connectivity
i think u havent explored windows mobile for long so u are underestimating its potential compared to android
