either xda-dev isnt the only place you can get the wm5.0 for BA or someone is making money from all xda-dev's hard work. :x
I have reported him to eBay. Looks to me he does not even know what he is talking about.

I'm watching an auction right now for what the seller claims is an XDA IIi running wm5.
I contacting him asking about it, basically asking if he was SURE it was an XDA IIi , not a II, he said yes, apparently he's upgraded an XDA II with faulty mainboard with an XDA IIi mainboard ???
Anyway, I'll post the link to the auction after I've won it or it's over (cos I want a good price if I can get it!

Be careful that there are so many types of XDAIIi in the world. Some of their appearance is exactly the same as XDAIIi but inside is PH10B (XDA2/andes) other than PH10C (XDA2i/alpine with wifi/520CPU/128128ramrom)
Ask him to take a picture of the device info screen and see if it's a 400mhz or 520mhz CPU.
how could he said XDA IIi running WM5??? here got many expert and everybody know....there's no WM5 yet for Alpine.
wait until buzz got an alpine......

Actually, there is WM5 on Alpine, but some dudes dont want to spread it coz of their bullshits, i been looking around on buzzdev.net, and readed in some thread that there is WM5 for Alpine, but not posted yet coz of some xx reasons!
Want to post a link to that? All I have seen is someone that supposedly put an HTC Universal ROM onto the Alpine.
I don't believe he managed it personally as he said he reformatted the ROM to 128mb, well for a start, that would have killed the OS itself, and boot loader, and ext rom, so he couldn't have done what he said.
Has anyone tried the ROM upgrade on eBay?

I was just wondering the legitimacy of it...
Well... as there is no legitimate way of upgrading an XDAIIs to WM2005 - it can't be legit.
He has probably downloaded the rom images from here..... what people will do for a quick buck!
I emailed a seller of a similar ebay item the following :-
Can you please verify that Bluetooth headsets do not disconnect when the device is in standby. I have tried other versions of WM5 and they all suffer this problem.

This was the response :-
well, we have not tested this particular problem, therefore not in better position to claim or answer your question.

Seems they know what they are doing :shock:

dammm... those who work hard for those Roms so that the BA can enjoy the WM5 OS but they don't charge a single penny for it, and here comes those who only have to download their HARD work and make money out of it... would really love to purchase that product but not continue with it so i can give him a negative feedback, but my ebay rep sure is not worth having to be tarnished bec of this selfish fool.
If you look at the screenshots, the phonedialer screen looks diffrent to what TuMa 1.3 does. Maybe it just uses a diffrent ROM to that?
You never know, these people might of genuinely never heard of this forum and used one of the more technical HTC/PDA sites out there to make there own ROM. There not charging very much at all for the ROM, which if they did make their own ROM proberly just covers the hours they put in developing the ROM and selling you the item. Don't forget Ebay charges fees for every item sold.
Of course, this site relys on donations to keep going, so theres not much diffrence is there?
The thing that does concern me more, is the fact that they havent a clue about the Bluetooth issue. If you get a ROM from this site you will be told exactly what it is and why it is happening, what's being done to fix it, and a free update when it is fixed - hows that for after-nosales?
The phone dialer skins that you see are the Eten dialer skins, they can be downloaded from PaulyA's site at http://www.paulya.com/etenskins.htm
The eBay offer is a fake, fraudulent at best, and not very respectful to those that actually do put in tons of work to get a decent WM5 version out.
Looks fake to me, they are even using screenshots from the Smartphone version of WM5. And if it was real it would cost more than $8, the WM5 upgrade from Dell cost more than that. Nothing but someone trying to make a buck from other's hard work and the ignorance of ebay shoppers.
Hi All,
I am thinking of getting one of these for £125, from Expansys on o2, £40/m, 400mins, I think its quite a lot but o2 has no pricing details so cant compare, another few months they say before release (UK).
Anywhere else I can get one with contrac?
Also, does anyone know what the spec of the GPS chip is on the TyTNII?
Thanks
Hmmmm.....you might want to change the thread title...
TyTNII (spelling!) in a TyTNII forum is not very eye-catching....
Sorry I couldn´t be of more help....
Sorry every1 i posted this in the general section , i had plenty of reads but no advice so im posting it here cos the auction im interested in ends very soon. 'just wanna buy a german kaiser and use it in the uk by flashing it with english rom and using in uk network' u don't have to read the rest just answer me this please. is it possible, thanks guys
hello everyone, im glad to be back! haven't used this forum in well over a year and ive missed it. ive decided to get another ppc. i'm looking at getting the tytn 2 off ebay. basically i want just the most powerful spec ppc. apart from the shift and advantage (cant afford them) this seems the best choice. also i would like a qwerty keyboard although b4 i got by with the spb full keyboard but now i want a qwerty one. if anyone can suggest any other ppc's with a high spec let me know plz. i didn't wanna spend more than a 200 quid but after watching ebay for 3 days it seems i have to.i've got 300 quid but for that i'd like a ppc a decent memory card and some bluetooth stereo headphones such as the sony ones. luckily ive got still got loads software (i.e. tomtom) from b4 but that's from older os'es. the one on ebay is 200 buy it now but its shipped from germany.the whole lisitng is in german but at the bottom is says 'attention int. buyers this phone has german software' surely i can just flash it with an english rom such as dutty's? is that correct?just as i was leaving the forums last time. xda-dev had 2 take all the roms down due to a copyright warning from ms. does this mean i have to cook my own? sounds daunting. basically i just wanna know if this german stellar is gonna b compatible on english nets? and if anyones got any suggestions for another ppc. sorry for posting in the general section, maybe this could have went in a different board but i've got 21 hours or so till the auction ends. thanks guys. glad 2 b bk, gareth
p.s. i've got an almost new orbit with a cracked screen. anyone good at fitting screens, or wanna buy it? or sell me a screen lol. ( i still want a newer ppc though) this is why i left the boards- cracked me screen didnt i lol.
Default cmon ppl
cmon guys sum1 must b able 2 spare me a minute. the auction ends soon. 'can i buy a german kaiser, flash it wiv english rom and use on uk network'
no man. most of the times the device ID does not match along with the carrier rom of other operators. so if your device is german operator specific, i dont think it will match along with ur desired rom updated. and since u r planning to buy from ebay, you only have a less chance of getting the full advantage of knowing you can rom update into english
German to English ROM change should be OK

I don't think you should have any trouble - people take devices that started out with WorldWideEnglish on them and flash to different language ROM's all the time. The hardware is the same, the keyboard layout may be slightly different. You will have to follow directions here and Hard-SPL unlock, and may need to do SIM-unlock, but I know it's all do-able.
thanx 4 the reply
thanks a lot guys,well.. what do i do here? 2 pieces of conflicting info from 2 experienced guys. shall i take this as it should be ok but theres a possibility of it going wrong? i called uk 02 tech support, they wouldn't tell me anything 'cant make any guarantees, we dont support this etc.etc.'the guy has posted it on uk ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=270225685569&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=017
is it not worth the risk then do you think
n e got 1 for sale? lol
i wouldnt listen to what ayyu3m said at all. true the ID will be different, but that is one of the reasons we use hardspl. we can bypass the CID and install rom from other kaisers. no problems whatsoever, expect maybe the keyboard layout
yea i agree, cid is counrty id isnt it? still not sure what 2 do. ill have to check the standard german keyboard layout. 200 quid is alot to waste but then again i could whack it back on ebay.has anyone actually tried this?cheers 4 ur reply m8, and the others all appreciated
CID=carrier ID
