Verizon VX6600 ... ACK! - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

:shock: :?: Ok... so here's the deal... I would really like to be able to run WM5 on my VX6600 (Verizon Wireless service), BUT... HOW!?!? I've spent the last couple hours looking thru the forums and still haven't come up with much...
I did the GetDeviceData.exe and it came up with...
PH20A2 A 2 WWE E 56450001 1.36.00 0 0 1.36.116 HA01_151
So I guess my questions are...
1. can the PH20A2 be upgraded? (i assume yes, but can't find the info to do it) :?:
2. if i CAN upgrade my phone... what files do i use to do it?? :?:
Thanks in advance!!
aquamorpho :shock: :shock:

Currently there is no WM5 upgrade for the CDMA Blue Angel devices such as yours. The upgrade is only for the GSM devices. It won't work in yours because you have a CDMA radio.

Does anyone have any idea when there will be one? I too have spent many hours reading through the treads. I feel like I am chasing my tail. What will it take?

*sniffle**
well, are they developing an update or should I be lookin for a new phone AGAIN...?? *bought this one 2 weeks ago*...LOL :lol:
*Sigh*.... my poor wallet!!

CDMA Harrier WM5 Project!!!!!

First off, here is where we are putting al of the files for this project:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Harrier/WM5 Project/
For those who don't know, the HTC Apache is the first CDMA WM5 phone. Being that the only Blue Angel form factor available ROM is GSM based not CDMA Harrier based, in order for us to make WM5 work on a CDMA Harrier we are going to be taking the files we need from thr Apache.
Now, on the server right now is a complete file dump from an Apache which should contain all of the needed files. It's a file called "Apache 1.03.00 WWE File Dump.rar" and located here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Apache/
We are working with Apache owners right now to also get the EVDO Radio from the Apache also uploaded. We already have an EVDO-Radio PRL and it is uploaded under the file name "PRL 10026 Modded 4 EVDO Radios.rar". We are going to try and use the EVDO Radio from the Apache and if we can this PRL should work until we get the 20215 PRL from the Apache. If we can't use the Apache's radio, this PRL will work with the non-Apache EVDO Radio. It's uploaded in a file called "Harrier EVDO Radio HA01_151.rar". This 10026 PRL is simply modded to be EVDO Radio compatible, it will NOT give you EVDO. We are also going to get the Apache's ExtROM uploaded so we have all of the SPCS carrier specific apps and features that we need.
Ok, the only I think we are going to be able to do this, is to have a knowledgable BA owner like Buzz, mamaich, ramram, and others, help us Harrier owners like me. We need a BA owner to help us get the current BA WM5 ROM to boot on a Harrier. Right now we get a "NO GSM" error and it won't boot. Hopefully one of these knowledgable GSM guys will help us figure out which files in the BA ROM are causing this and take the needed files to fix this from the Apache file dump and copy them on a GSM BA and then get that on an SD card and uploaded so we can atleast get it to boot. Then I think us Harrier guys can figure out most everything else and patch it using the Apache's files so we don't have to bother the BA guys anymore.
So, are there any BA guru's willing to help on this project?
Also on the server are the following needed files which are Harrier specific:
2003SE ExtROM Resizer.rar
2003SE ExtROM Unhide & Unlock.rar
Harrier EVDO Radio HA01_151.rar
mamaich's 5.03.02 WWE (Patched v2).rar (BA ONLY right now!)
mamaich's Fix's.rar
Missing Files from Apache 1.03.00 WWE.rar
Missing Files from HIM WM5.rar
PRL 10026 Modded 4 EVDO Radios.rar
ROM Dump Apps.rar
WM5 File Dumper.rar
WM5 ROM Installer.rar

Bump.

BUMP!!
I have an extra device I can beat up on
if there is anything I can do...I have an extra vx 6600 (don't ask) that I can beat up on, Load, Reload as many times as needed. I can't make phone calls or test the quality of phone call, but I can test signal strength.
if I can help...Let me know,
Matt
Ditto on the "extra" XV6600 tip... If people need stuff tested over and over, I can do that. Have flashed my old T-Mobile Wallaby dozens of times using SD Card method, happy to do the same to my "other" XV6600.
Still nothing?
Alright...
Is there a thread where we can petition HTC to make a WM5 device with stuff we want so we can quit waiting on this to come out?

LOLOLOL
WTH! lets do something with this project! cdma phones are just as deserving as gsm phones.
Anyone able to get hands on cdma wm5 roms?
I see there are some apache files... will these work with the harrier?
Anyone have a spare ppc to test them out on?
I would but I only have 1 ppc and I cant afford to wreck it!
The only way to do it is if we can unlock the BA's ROM which no one seems to be able here to do. We can only unock the ExtROM...
havnt the gsm guys had to do this for their phones? if so ... why can't they help us do that to ours? not enough time for us? hmmmm
it would appear that way...

Bounty over at PDAPhoneHome
There is currently a bounty being offered at PDAPhoneHome for a working CDMA WM5 Rom. With mamaich's and gmap's recently released apps this shouldn't be to hard. The link is http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60026&perpage=20&pagenumber=1
I'll offer my CDMA device up for testing if one of you BA guys wanna try.
by the looks of that "bounty being offered" thread... things are getting VERY CLOSE! if anyone can offer any assistance in completing the final steps please come forward... we need YOU!!
I have a feeling someone will be recieving that bounty REAL soon.
Good luck to the individuals who are making the dream transition from wm2003se to wm5 on our harriers a realisation.
Thanks in advance
-cope
Yeah... keeping the dream alive till it becomes a real nightmare
They're making progress, and it actually looks like there's some hope.
In the meantime I'm gonna go get a newer rom and try that... things been acting up on me lately.
WM5 fix? HA! Not for 4-6 months after we get it... How many bugs were in the GSM version? :shock:
But there is hope. And I'm all for a good nightmare.
I'll be one of the first to try the upgrade and make my phone useless.
I was there the night the GSM one got posted and may have been the first CDMA person to see the "No GSM" screen.
Someone make me take a programing class so I can be more useful :roll:
Currently on ftp there is a WM5 Harrier romdump but only 2MB. Is there a WM5 OS ROM extractor/romdumper that works?

BlueAngel WM 5.0 UPGRADE

Hi,
Will the PH20A2 CDMA Verizon (audiovox vx6600) have an upgrade to the latest win 5.0 version? There is some chatter on the rest of the internet but the version posted here specifically excludes the US CDMA Version.
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.....
Thanks....
:roll:
I read on another forum that people were trying to cook a PPC-6700 ROM for the CDMA BAs. They couldn't use the GSM ROMs because it kept trying to find a GSM radio.
:?
I think we should get multiple users to voice needs and interest to Audiovox as well as Verizon. i will be happy to draft and post the letter but we'll need some consensous among the partners. I just hate to see Audiovox or Verizon push a new device down our throat because they are too lazy or incompetent for the simple OS upgrade.
can we upgrade or not
You should follow this thread.
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60026
:x
you've got to be kidding me... do you understand the english language ? i read your other post and i dont think you could even perform the upgrade if someone was kind enough to provide it here....

Not to be an arse about it, but it's obvious that you did no research on this question before posting. A search of the forums would have shown you the thread located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=244441&highlight=CDMA+Harrier+wm5
You might get more results if you at least look first. If you have looked, you didn't state it and your post sounded like you couldn't be arsed enough to look.
Again, I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm trying to make a point that many people seem to have problems grasping.
I've searched the forums many times, and I would still post the question from time to time if others didn't just to be sure someone didn't just discover something.
I personally would like to know if there is a Harrier CDMA upgrade to WM5 or WM6 that forgoes the the radio, or if someone has tried to use the radio "drivers" out of a 6700 (Apache) to any degree of sucess. In my research, I've seen the idea floated, but I'm not sure how deeply the situation has been probed.
I do appreciate the work Helmi and others do, and I simply want to know if there is any update on this front.
Guys, does a harrier get completely bricked if it is upgraded to WM6 or does it just lose its radio/phone functionality? The reason I ask is I am a Kaiser user but I have my old Verizon Harrier that I'd like to make use of its gorgeous 3.5" display for movies while in the car (very safe, I know).
I'm on ATT now, so no more Verizon. I'd be using this device strictly for its PDA functionality.
I realize I can just use TCPMP on the wm2003 OS as is, but i figured there were some chefs that had done some pretty sweet roms for the device. Heck, I don't even need WM6, I'll just take the best Rom, regardless of which winmo version.
I know in the kaiser forums, duttythroy is pretty much the heavyweight chef. Is there a similar heavyweight rom or chef that everyone tends to lean towards on the harrier/BA? I spent about 15 mins doing some searches and reading Wikis but honestly couldn't find any info on harrier cooked roms.
It is now possible that Harrier could be hacked.
Unfortunately, the HTC CDMA hacking community has moved on. The HTC encryption on the ROM wasn't broken until after Harrier was long discontinued.
And, with new devices sporting gpsOne and EV-DO Rev A, there are now clear technical advantages to modern devices.
Ideally, HTC would have done the right thing and kept supporting older models. But, you already know that...
I don't care about the radio on the Harrier
As the previous poster mentions...Can I slap a Blue Angel ROM on my Harrier if I don't care about the radio? It would be a great 2nd device if I could get WM5 or WM6 on it. Again...I don't need (nor want) the CDMA radio on it to work.
Thanks.
no sir, tried myself, almost bricked phone DO NOT DO IT.

Hmmmm,
Although,I can answer this very precisely,and I'm tempted to,but I'll just say that after 236 posts,you still can't find official carrier's wm5 rom of your phone,that's even more Sick !
Cheers!
What does posts have to do with this?
why don't try finding it? maybe you'll know what i mean.
I did my search fool. i'm not some asshole that made a new topic to make others search it for me.
I looked on the HTC site and i looked on the XDA FTP.
I Can't find the latests WM5 rom for the 8125 that uses Tmo.

That proves it ! Never heard of a latest wm5 8125 Rom that uses Tmo.Posts have got everything,with that number of posts,you shud have known,there's no such Rom. Cingular 8125 and T-mobile MDA are basically same devices build by HTC.Any Wizard wm5 rom,either from cingular or T-mobile will flash and work perfectly on it.You searched you never found it,just a 'Hint' , you'll find all the latest official wm5 stock roms here,"Read the freaki'n forum":-

Secondly,I wud rather advise you to check your language,abusive words won't get you anywhere.I can also be very abusive,but I prefer to be polite,respectfull and calm. This Forum doesn't encourage and promote abusive and hostile attitude,you might get penalized if reported or 'Moderator' finds out. Be careful there.
thank you for the link.
I know either frimware can be used on the 8125, but i wanted the most stable one for the 8125 and used the t-mo frimware. because for most of the frimware i tested shows t-mo on the load screen. for the ones that doesn't show t-mo it wasn't that stable with my network.
Also, was not being hostile or abusive to you. unless you consider the word "fool" as abusive. then im sorry, I say the word Fool often to people.
and i didn't call you an asshole if thats that's what you're thinking, I was simply implying i wasn't one. and people that usually ask without searching are.
so no need to feel offending.
anyway, thanks for the link. and i don't see how posts costs for experience. Most of my posts are asking questions in topics.
if you want to know why i'm sick of WM6 frimwares, here are the main reasons:
*phone hangs when i'm doing something, and then a call comes in.
*typing too fast on the keypad or keyboard will case the phone to soft reset, like typing an email reply.
*the phone hangs when an alarm starts and I never get to hear my alarm.
