Hello i've got an Wallaby from O2 ..
I want to format my divice so i can reinstall the most needed things on it.
But my problem is witch programs i must use?
And witch ROM i'll have to get for the new software so i can use my GPRS, for T-Mobile ?
So witch ROM program/install (because he must first be totally clean before i go on)..and how can i reformat my O2 Wallaby XDA ppc PW10A1 ??
Please help! I've got a dockingstation so help me with some links...
....anyway! Please help me! I'm dieing for some information !!
It's not possible for me to get on the GPRS.
Greetz,
PaSo
You get a clean ROM by doing a hard reset. Then only programs already included in theROM will be onyour device.
Stefan
but that's the problem !!!!
It's an o2 device and i've got a T-Mobile sim-card in it.
And i want to go onto the GPRS-Network, but that isn't possible because the ROM on the device blocks that.
So can i put an other ROM on it ??
New update or something ??
You can flash a T-Mobile ROM on it.
BUt i do not believe that the device blocks just GPRS. Have you done correct settings for T-Mobile? Is the sim card working in the device (Phone)?
Stefan
My sim is working ok. I can call and sms to other people.
Ok. Can you tell me how to flash my XDA... with new software?
Because i want to delete all, format complete and reinstall new working software for every simcard.
So i can use him!!

hmm i'm not that intelligent to use these programs.
I don't know how i can flash the device.
What must i do ??
It should work to download a ROM in EXE format, connect your device to your PC running active sync and run the Exe-File....
Stefan
It workd, i've got a new ROM onto the divice.
The one of xda-developers self.
Now i've got to get the right settings for TMobile.
Thanks anyway.
And maybe next time.
Hi all,
Have been mucking about with my Vodafone v1605 and the new HTC ROM. Had a play with the 'green' theme and decided to try and go back to Vodafon colours etc (basically the Vodafone extended ROM).
So, unlocked the Extended ROM, deleted the HTC stuff and replaced with Voda's. No problem.
When I hard reset the device it appeared to be loading HTC's stuff again???? I hard reset again and this time soft reset before the extended ROM could load. I now had a very vanilla WM5 setup
I now unlocked the ext rom again and went to re-import the Vodafone stuff...but it was allready there.
So - I ran the autoupdate and it stared to run. However, after a few secs it complained it could not find \Windows\vodafone.bmp. I ok'd and it carried on.
After all this I have a semi-vodafoned TyTN.
Anyone know what I need to do?? Does anyone have the vodafone.bmp so I may try again??? Is there an easier way to do this that I am missing???
Thanks - Rich
Some more digging found the following:
By simply taking any of the PNG splashscreens available on this site and calling it vodafone.bmp and placing it in the WINDOWS directory I can get the Vodafone extended ROM to run.
However, with teh ROM run I do not get the Vodafone theme or the phone skin or today plugins (guess they belong to the actual ROM not the extended). I do however get a 3 symbol....
In the end I gave up playnig and went back to the HTC extended ROM. Sure, green might not be 100% me but it's a nice change
R
Questions
Which ROm are you using instead the Vodafone one ?? Did you had screen calibration problems with the old ROM ? Changing the old ROM for the new one fixed this stuff ??
Ok this problem is related to the pre autorun issue that is availavail in the hermas verient....that means not only that the file willbe installed from the extrom bit also a part of extrom is kept in mail ce rom which will install before the installaton of ext rom...you can see it easily as the wait for 3 sec message after a hard reset will came twice the first time for pre autorum and second one from autorun...
now as u using the tytn rom s the pre auorun cnfig is still there which will install the green htc theme and default ie homepage and some other things like hsdpa anaval and some customised operator setting....so it doesnt matter what ext rom you use if u use the tytn main ce rom then u cant ignore them if not u reset just before first 3 sec wait massage and as a result u will not get the complete vodaphone ext rom addons as for vodaphone cd imate too there has some setting which relies on main image not on ext rom...
i think this explainaiton should clear it a bit..
thanks

HI,
Maybe you could check your sms setting from your operator.
Or, you can do this;
(Settings)->(Phone)->(Services)->(Voice mail and Text Messages)->Press Get Settings.
That's it.
Try it and report back.

Hey mate...
Recently, i got the same problem (also post a new thread here) with the black pro and LVSW version...
After investigate, i found the it is the problem of o2 SMS plus, this software totally conflict with wm6 right the moment.
For your case, i suggest you try to hardreset your device first.
Don't install any software, test it for a few days to see any problem occur again.
If no, try to install software one by one and test it again.
Good luck

Hi again,
I am not sure abut this ROM thing because I use Dutty's v2 ROM and stay with it.
Maybe Netmon's suggestion could be used for you.
If you haven't install anything yet in your PDA yet after a hard reset, you could try these few tests;
a) send sms to your friends
b) ask them to reply your sms
c) send sms to yourself
d) leave the machine up and running for more than 1 hour ( charge it ).
e) repeat the same test (a,b & c) above and see the result.
f) if OK, then your third party software could be the culprit.
Mind telling us what did you install? (for us to indentify and/or see if the problem persist if we install the same as yours)

morisa
im using Dopod 838 Pro.. the only appz i have is:
* winsbar light
* tdyscheme changer
* TCPMP with addons
* group sms
* sunnysoft vcard
* SOTI pocket controller pro
* JGUI myCalendar
* mental motions MultiPad
* audio notes
for the meantime those are the appz installed..
btw if you say hardreset that means like format right? isn't it formatted when you upgrade the ROM?..

Hi again,
Yess, hard reset=format and when we upgrade our ROM, the machine will be hard-reset too.
The above softwares are add-ons installed after the format right?
Just for a test and for a few days, if you could live with it, do not install anything besides restoring your contacts after the ROM upgrade or downgrade. During the period, test your sms capability and observe any peculiar things with it.
Shall you want to extend your test and to comform your believe that it is due to ROM's issue, kindly revert to your Dopod's WM5 ROM which is downloadable in Dopod website. Then do the same test for the sms.
Shall it be OK then it could be the ROM and if not, it might be something else.
Like myself, I don't have the software as listed by you above installed in my machine and I am using Dopod 838 pro too. I don't have any problem with sms so far
Hopefully you can carry on with the test while I try to see if the problem happens to me if I install the above software like you. Give me a few days for the result.
Regards,
morisa

hi morisa! yesterday i downgrade all the stuff back to WM5.. and everything is working smoothly..
i got a sd card installed with previous programs.. but of course when i upgrade everything is erased, the only remaining folder left is Program Files.. do you think this might be one of the cause or should i format my sd card too..
any update guys?

HI again,
Glad that you manage to get it work under WM5.
Well, not much could be done with the "Program Files" folder in your SD card. You can keep it if you want but make a clean format of the SD cards is highly advisable.
Do not install anything that has interaction with today screen inside the SD card. Always install in memory.
Regarding my test as I said in my previous post, I only install the prog which concerns SMS and no problem so far. (install in memory)
I even go the extend of installing "SMS Scheduler" and Vijay's "Flash SMS", and the result is OK, no problem so far.
Thus, I uninstall O2sms+, Group sms etc which I don't use and back to my old PDA state. No problem too. So, it could be the ROM or the Radio ROM.
By the way, I am using 1.43 Radio ROM.
Regards,
morisa
right now im trying Schaps WM6 3.30.. i deleted everything in my SD card.. didnt installed any apps yet.. all default.. ill keep you posted.. i hope this time it would be all good..
I downgraded my radio from from 1.43.00.00 to 1.38.00.10. It seems like my problem is gone now. Haven't had a text messaging issue in the past 36 hours. Hopefully it stays that way.
wasup people!
after upgrading to Schap's WM6 3.30c.. SMS send/receive is working good (its been 10hrs and no further problems) im using SPL 2.10 Olipro and my Radio is 1.41
the only application i installed since the upgrade is GroupSMS.
i hope there would be no problems..
im now using Schap's WM6 3.30c and everything is going fine.. no more problems so far.. i just format my SD card and everything and installed the new ROM.. i guess when i was upgrading there is a tick box that i should select which says "its hard SPL?" which i didn't select.. and probably that cause the problem.. tho im not sure about it..
link / cab
could someone provide a link or cab for the o2sms plus app you are using on your wm6 roms? at least the version.
UGH
I got the same problem here... this only started happening when I upgraded to Schaps latest rom (4.0 rc). I'm getting concerned that there doesn't appear to be a true or known fix for this problem
hello all.
I've flashed my raphael (touch pro) whit this rom: http://www.megaupload.com/fr/?d=ZSYWWUTZ
but there is a big issue.
My touchflo3D interface is defaillants.
there is no caracters in the sms menu when i wrote a sms.
in attachment, 2 pictures of the problems
there is also a lot of errors like as:
"dw.exe has stop to ....." or "device.exe"
could you help me please?
(sorry for my bad english )
another strange thing's.
there is still the logo sfr upon startup that I flashed the phone.
It's normal?
Where did you get the download-link from? Sounds like a faulty ROM for me or you didn't follow the installation instructions. Did you f.e. hard reset after flashing this ROM?
i forgot the hard reset :s
i test this and i tell you if it's ok or not
For the link, it's a friend of me who gave me
(on forummobiles.com)
apparatly, after a hard reset, it's OK.
Thank's a lot
but there is still sfr screen on startup (and after, htc screen and after wm6 screen)
You probably have installed some operator branded ROM. But I don't think someone on this board can help you with that since you downloaded the ROM somewhere else.
When i buy my phone, i've directly came here but there is no fr rom
thanks a lot
Yes there are. How about this for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432516
i want to say, i want a official htc rom
but thank's for the link
i' have the same probleme...
Dear Members,
I tried to upgrade my JasJam with "838Pro_HK_ENG_WM6_Upgrade_20070712"
Which worked with other JasJams (Many of my friends has it working).
On upgrading, it stucked on 11% saying Error [262]
I went through recovery, and it said remove the USB cable, remove the Battry, Return it, start the phone, connect the USB, and its recovered.
After that Its again stucked in 100% and the same senario is happening.
Please tell me is there any possibility to restore my phone working.
Its stuck now, and only the (Three color screen) is on the screen.
Hard reset, soft reset is not functioning, and the phone refused to show anything except the three color screen.
I searched the forum, but found no relative article, I am searching since two days your forum and I know that no other forums can help me in this as I was always getting my help from yours.
Thanks for your time.

If you're using XP then untick "Allow USB Connection" in activesync.
Reset to bootloader on your Hermes, Hold power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus.You will get the same screen you have now but it won't be a f*&%ed up version of bootloader. Connect to PC by USB and Install Hard SPL V7, found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
After this, use the sd card method to install the ROM.
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. ?CFopy the .nbh file of the rom you want to it and rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert into phone and reset to bootloader.
3 If you did everything right then follow the prompts...
Cheers...
Again problem!
Dear ultramag69,
Thank you for your fast reply.
I did (untick) that option in the ActiveSync.
And also did reset to the device by holding the Power + Ok (under the flywheel) with Stylus reset.
After that I downloaded "Hard SPL V7" and tried to update.
First of all, in the "Hard SPL V7" there was only the last option active, and there was down a checkbox also active, but when choosing the last option, checkbox bocomes like everything else disabled.
However, I got the erro 286
I felt like the Device disconnected from USB and reconnected again (Windows gave me the sound when you remove some USB device and you re-connect it again) :-|
I don't know what to do with this dead device now !
Thank you very very much for your time and help
Don't quote me on this as I suspect you need Hard SPL V7 but, as yo've tried things out and you're about to quit anyway, Try using the sd card to update the Stock rom, the rom that came on your Hermes, or updated version. It might let you do it if the CID matches.
I don't believe SPL 1.40 allowed you to flash ANY rom but it may let you re-install the stock rom BUT it must be the original carrier software it came with. If you had Telstra rom on it when you got it, it must be a telstra rom you flash. Make sure its for the right country too as some carriers are all over the world.
Cheers...
Hello ultramag69,
Thanks alot for your reply.
Having my i-mate dead, is really interesting.
I am trying to recover it up, Mine came with (HTC) logo when booting, and I did flushed it with Dopod.
But recently, the network stopped, and I asked some experts, they said it need new OS (They ment to re-flush the ROM).
I tried with the same Dopod that was successful before, and its now stucked on 11%.
I even downloaded the Telstra but the same, it stucked on 13%.
This is my entire story, and still I am trying to get it up.
Thanks alot for your helping. nice of you.
And for all who read my post, if they had such experience before, please help.

If you can, try to find the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM. It may be your Hermes won't be recoverable as the flash stopped in the radio rom part. Most people use a cooked rom as this has the radio rom part out.
I personally use the sd card method to flash my roms so there are no sync errors or accidents with my PC. But you need Hard SPL V7 installed to get that to work with any but the shipped rom.
DON'T try flashing anything but the shipped rom or you will loose all chances of recovering your Hermes.
The only other suggestion would be to flash the SHIPPED RADIO ROM, but you need to know what radio it was before you flashed it with the dopod rom.
Unfortunately the radio rom is the Achilles heel of our phone series. Any problems during flashing of that means we pretty much end up with a brick 99% of the time. Most people are stuck and the rest seem to have limited success reflashing the radio. AVERY small percentage get it working with no trouble, but its a REALLY small amount of people.
Good luck, Make sure you flash with the SHIPPED STOCK ROM to improve your chances of success.
Cheers...
Ultramag69, Thanks alot for your consideration.
Flusching using SD card didn't success with SPL V7.
I formatted my MicroSD card, 2GB with Fat32 FS.
After that I copied the file that came with the zip archive (RUU_signed.nbh) and renamed as required: (herming.nbh).
And I put it in my i-mate, and holded the (Power + OK under flyweel) then restarted using the stylus, It showed me the tri-color screen, then it shows (Loading...) with Gray background screen (Which is normally the flusching screen) but it returned to the tri-color screen.
Any suggestions to get this SPL V7 installed successfully ?
I tried with all my (.nbh) files that I have downloaded from all sources, but its the same screen.
I think something is really wrong with me i-mate, should I take it to some Hard-ware service center ? and what can be damaged and need to be replaced in such cases ?
I am very excited in getting it working again.
Thanks alot.
Cheers...
I had bricked my Hermes a couple o' times, because of a rom I cooked half-way ( LOL ). Each time I had to flash back to the stock rom as suggested. Don't lose hope, cuz there's some people who will tell you just to accept it as bricked. You could also take the sucker apart and use jtags to flash. Most types of bricks can be solved when it comes to the Hermes. There's a thread somewhere that polled the different types of bricks, and except for radio bricks, most can be solved. If you unbrick it try 6.5 .... !!! My rom is cooked all the way now
Arwany, did you run the SSPL.exe file in the sd card instructions for Hard SPL found on page 116, post 1160 of the Hard SPL thread? You need a version of Soft SPL (SSPL) to flash using the sd card as the CID must be bypassed. The reason we Hard SPL our Hermes is because its safer. Its worthwhile flashing the SPL using unsafe SSPL (even if you use the pc you have Soft SPL installed) as its a short flash, flashing a rom (especially stock roms with the radio rom inside) is a riskier and longer flash.
Cheers...
I had the same problem.. All you have to do is establish a connection with Actisync, then run the Updater. There will be 3 colors on your Screen, sont worry, just wait 10-15 min and your should be done with the setup.
Want to help

Hi,Just to tell You that I've noticed a little spelling mistake.You've written "herming.nbh" But it should be "Hermimg.nbh".
Not the 1st person to make that mistake, and probably won't be the last.....
Hi All,
Yeah, that worked out for me, I could successfully flush my JasJam with that.
Thanks for your reply.
I am still facing problem when trying to flush with other OS, its always stuck on the GSM line.
I am using the SD flush method.
Any suggestions ?
THank s alot for your help!
If you have the no GSM problem the only way to, maybe, fix is to flash the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM, or the original radio rom. Flashing anything else may result in a permanent brick...
If it doesn't succeed then, sorry, its not repairable. Can be used as a PDA but not as a phone ever again.
Cheers...
Thansks Ultramag69, for all the helps, It solved my main problem.
You also Ekonkar, your comments was so helpful.
I will try to do some hardware repairing in some Mobile shop, they may get it up again !
To fix it will cost more than to get a new device... They'll tell you they can't fix it or it needs a new mainboard. Will still cost you for this nugget of info. My advice, buy a Hermes off ebay, either working or not. If its not, make sure its screen related problem cos you have the parts to fix... Unless your screen has gone bung too...
Cheers...
I gave it to the repairing guy, he replaced the GSM item and its up and running now for only 20$.
Prost :-D
Sweet, You should post where and what country so others in the same situation might be able to get their Hermes up & running.
