Hi there sorry if this is the wrong section, but I was hoping Pug would be able to tell me how to upgrade my ROM, etc because I'am still using the original.
Also could someone be so kind as to list a tap by tap guide to setting up my XDA IIi to connect to O2 Active, and Mobile Web, as I have a pay as you go SIM card in the XDA IIi?
Thanks alot peeps.

Hi, There is plenty in the Alpine sections about upgrading to the various ROM sections, just have a look or search. You will find the files here, ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Alpine/
You can see what PUG ROM version I use, which I have found to be very good.
Sometime ago I uploaded all the cab files for your Carrier Settings, just copy cab to XDA IIi and tap to run, after the cab has installed the settings, it will delete itself, so make sure you keep a copy for future use.

The latest PUG upgrade is here, ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Alpine/O2_Roms__Camera_Fixed_Pug
There are 2 files here, one has all the unneccessary 02 software outstripped and the other with all the 02 software included.
Once downloaded, extract to a folder on your desktop (or anywhere on your PC). Make sure your PDA is connected via the cradle and Activesync. Goto the folder you have extracted the files to on your PC, click to run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, just click OK, then you should see a message saying it is checking your Device, your devices screen should go blank (Although you will see some dark text including the word Serial on your PDA)
You should then get a screen saying what ROM version you have and the New version, press ok then a screen will pop up saying checking device, the common thing to happen here is it will stop in this screen, what 5 mins if it doesn't change then don't touch your PDA, CTRL-Alt-DEL on your PC keyboard to bring up Task Manager, select the Process Tab and look for the file name MaUpgradeUt_noID, highlight it with one click and then press End Process button, go back to the folder and run MaUpgradeUt_noID again follow the screen instructions again and then it will update this time, indicated by a install bar screen, it will take about 20mins to complete.
Once updated remove your PDA from its cradle and hold the Power Button down and at the same time press the softreset hole with your Stylus, this will Hard Reset (Factory Settings) your device, depending on the version you have installed follow instructions on the PDA, it will install some more files which take 5 to 10 mins to install. Thats it you device is now updated.
For your carrier settings goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26463, there you will find the CAB files for your Phone Carrier (remember there is a file for PAYT and Contract for each Carrier, download the correct one for you), download the correct one for you and copy to your PDA, tap to run and your correct MMS/GPRS/WAP settings are then installed. Very Happy
**Please Note before you update your PDA. Please copy anything you want to keep on your PDA to your PC, don't worry about SD storage or the other Perminent Storage area as the update leaves these untouched. If you want to save your Contacts and or your Appointments and Tasks then goto Settings on your PDA select second Tab and then select Perminent Save, tick your selection and tap OK, then once you have carried out the update go back to Perminant Save and tick boxes you want restored and then tap OK, this function will dynamically keep your backup upto date, so you can use this anytime.
Phew, hope this helps.
I have tried all teh CAB files, and all the individual settings, to get full GPRS working on my O2 PAYT SIM.
After 2 emails to o2's technical department (which at least they answered within 24 hours) I was assured that the reason I couldnt connect is the APN whould be set to mobile.o2.co.uk - but that ONLY worked on contract plans.
They categorically stated that PAYT O2 ONLY features WAP GPRS, i.e. those small WAP-sites suited to mobile phones, and not the 'full deal' (ie web browsing, irc, MSN MEssenger etc)
...so, after a LONG time with O2 PAYT, I am now a Vodafone customer with a Vodafone PAYT SIM!
I can surf the web, join my irc channels, use MSN Messenger, the works, and they emailled me the correct settings the very same day I emailled them to ask for them too.

Hi,
just got an 2nd hand xda IIi earlier on today and seem somewhat shafted as i only have macs and no pcs, been looking arround for the last few hours to find some form of sync software which doesnt cost
can anyone tell me how to update the rom from a mac?
cheers
Ok,
so im guessing from spending hours searching the forums here last night unless im willing to buy pocketmac or missing sync there is nothing.
think i will use a virtual pc *sigh*
roll on the x86 mac hardware.
Mac OS is based on BSD. I believe there are scripts floating around here in perl that any decent *nix flavour should run. Perhaps some of these might be able to help you.
if you can run a Virtual PC with access to USB ports on the Mac, I'd reckon that would be the easiest (!) approach to adding Activesync for syncing files etc & installing any applications, as all of the pocket PC apps' installers are also windows-based.
Joe
had a long look for perl stuff and didnt find much so got virtual pc installed now. just got pugs rom on the xda and the speed has incresed (it doesn't feel as slugish anymore) wifi signal is a lot better, but i still seem to have BT issues, wonder if thats something to do with my headset though.. sounds like bad reception sometimes even though the phone is only in my coat pocket.
Anyone know how to make the Windwos folder vivible so I can easily get to the RINGS folder fron Explore in ActiveSync. It's marked as hidden and a system folder in RESCO EXPLORER. When I uncheck the boxes in Properties and go back in to look they have not changed. Does anyone know if there is another registry setting to make this viible?
Ta!

Windows folder is always visible, the last folder under My Device is Windows and it definitely is not hidden,anyway which rom are you using?
Using the standard ROM from Orange and it's definitely NOT visiable from within explorer on my PC...it is from the Trinity but its attibutes are hidden and that's why the PC cannot see it. And as I said if I change the attibs and take the HIDDEN off... it puts it back on again (or doesn't take it off)
You cannot change the attributes of the windows folder.
If you change the explorer settings on the PC so as to display hidden files and folders, then you will be able to see it.
Dohh! Stupid me of course..THANKS!!!
As you've been so helpfull....any ideal how I can get a version of Task Magaer on my Trinity. Orange doesn't supply one. Someone posted a CAB they had extracted on here for me that other day. It loaded OK but did not close down the programs only left them in the background as does the OK button???

On the wiki in the Hermes section under Tools and Programs you'l find HTC X Button , use that it works for me.
Hi, I'm really in need of some help.
I want to be able to sync a few podcasts and videopodcasts to my HTC diamond, so when i'm out and about I can view them offline.
Ideally I want:
-to be able to choose where they are stored.
-to make sure old ones are deleted when new ones downloaded.
-to be notified when I have new ones, either by windows or by entering a program.
and...
-To make sure they only get downloaded through my home broadband, either by the device through wifi, or through the PC and then transferred across.
Currently I have doppler grabbing podcasts and adding them to windows media playlists which are set up to be synced with my diamond.
Problem is, I have no idea when a new one arrives, since a new randomly named file replaces an old randomly named file in a folder on the 4gb memory. More importantly than that, it seems really hit and miss on what gets synced over, lots of stuff doesn't get added to the playlists and its just really messy and unreliable.
The ideal solution would be a program for the diamond that is setup to auto-sync during the night, only using WiFi. Then when i'm bored I can enter the program, see a new episode of whatever, and launch it.
Does such a program exist, or is there another way to set that up?
I was wondering if its possible to ad characters or fonts to the kaiser for MS word and powerpoint. Im taking a japanese class and were starting to do assignments in hiragana and kankji...is there anyway to add these fonts/characters to he tilt so they don't come up as squares when I open .doc and .ppt files?
Thanks in advance....

try google next time
sorry i wasn't able to...it took me 10 minutes just to load this website and make this post using pocket IE. my connectivity wasn't going well, so searching google was a bit tough. Thanx though
after messing around w/ that site and their various fonts for about an hour, nothing seemed to work. For future reference, if anyone needs to get a font on their PPC that they have on their comp no matter what it is, you can simply go to Windows/fonts on your pc then DRAG (@ least on windows vista it doesn't allow you to copy directly) to another folder. when you drag it will copy it, then from that folder you can load it into the /Windows directory of your phone, then do a soft reset.
Been messing around with some of the more basic tweaks, and I have all of a sudden got a major issue. My File Explorer takes an extraordinary amount of time to load up the Windows directory. I mean, it sits there for a good 5 minutes before it loads up that directory. Once it is opened, I can navigate through my device and the other folders just fine, but the SECOND I try to get into the Windows directory it's just wait-city....
I did not tweak anything with File Explorer. Is there any way to fix this?
its my first PPC so maybe im missing something but... why would u ever really need to explore your Windows Folder that much on your phone? and ofcourse it takes a ton of time to load, it has tons of system files in there to enumerate
that is weird though, mine takes a while to load up, but certainly not 5 minutes
if you are installing programs into your Windows folder, and trying to access them through the File Explorer, then ur "doing it wrong" as they say on this here internets... most anytime i mess with my windows folder on my phone, im doing synced up with active sync on my PC
There are actualyl plenty of reasons to be in the Windows Directory. And many of them have to do with tweaking and other enhancements to the device.
Just backup your stuff and do a hard reset, perhaps it is worth making a note of which stuff you changed should this happen again?
EDIT: Yes there are PENTY of reasons to be navigating into the \Windows folder on a PPC so its not a "doing it wrong" situation...however it is always wise to research the tweaks and changes you are carrying out should you end up in the situation where you cant boot the device....hence losing your data.
On my ELFin, I think this used to happen whenever I messed about with TF2D themes, since they contain hundreds of files.
Mine will load from my PC or on the phone in about 30 seconds (slightly longer from the phone itself)
5 minutes seems rather excessive just for the window's directory
As stated above try the reset on it to see about clearing up some memory.
Also when active sync came up on the phone did you accidentally select a different type of connection than active sync? I did once and everything ran super slow unless I was browsing through it as a thumb drive.
On WM, windows throws EVERYTHING into that one directory, the more stuff you add, the more that directory gets filled. I know my tilt could take like a minute to load that one directory. At the moment the Fuze loads it in under 15 seconds.
I use it to launch cabs and find files. Its my first PPC w/e its called. I had that happen before though it lagged soo much i reset my fuze and it fixed it.
A lot of the time is how its sorted. Make sure its sorted by name, as this is how the files are normally indexed. If you select sort by Type, it has to sort it each and every time you try to browse to the Windows directory. Its nothing wrong with your Fuze, but rather Windows Mobile. We are so due for an update.
Hi Supertruck,
You could try using Total Commander instead of File Explorer, it's loads better by far.
Also, you can setup directory hotlists so if you need to take a look at \Windows\Rings or \Windows\StartUp for example you can navigate straight there and miss out the wait while the device enumerates the \Windows dir.
Cheers,
D.
m. carroll....that was it!!! I had it sorted by file type because I was doing the PTT changes and was copying .lnk files around and wanted them all together. It opens right up now that I have it sorted by Name.
Strange how something so small can make such a huge differece.
Thanks so much!!!
