problems installing 20070418_RUU_Trinity_LVSW_WWE_1.25.0.8_GPS_AKU3.5. 2

Hi All.
I just purchase a new unlocked HTC P3600 (1.15.405.5 is the verision that the device came with from the store) here in Canada.
This unit came from the store with the GPS icon available in SETTINGS/CONNECTION connections.
I have spent the last week reading, and reading, and rereading all you guys great posts on the new "cooked" ROM updates provided for FREE from some of the members/developers here, and the hints and tips for usability! Thank you all for this site and forum!
Now, into my question.
With the verision of the ROM that I have, is the GPS activated? I do see the GPS icon in the I have installed both google maps and live search which both software seem to have GPS functionality built in. I would like to get these programs to work with my built in GPS. However, it is a bit confussing when reading through all the posts on GPS to figure out what are my GPS settings that I should use from this particular ROM verision? I spent 2 hours trying every single combination of GPS program port (COM0-9 and GPD1-9) and GPS hardware port (COM0-9), with out success with either of the two softwares (live search or google maps). Both give an 'can't communicate with GPS' errors, with any of the combination settings.
FYI- I turned on the 'manage GPS automatically' when trying these comb settings. Each time I tried a different setting, I didn't do a soft reset.. just changed the GPS settings.. and then went back into one of the two program mentioined above and tried.. each time it fails with 'can't commicate with GPS'.
Question: do I have to do a softreset everytime I change the GPS settings? AGain, the device manual has NO documention on how to setup the GPS settings.. and the forums is somewhat confusing as I don't know if these methods are ROM specific or not.
Is there any utility that I can use to see if my GPS is activated/working under my current ROM?
Secondly, if my ROM is too old and I need an updated verision.. I have a small problem here too...
I downloaded LVSW ROM: 20070418_RUU_Trinity_LVSW_WWE_1.25.0.8_GPS_AKU3.5.2, which from what I have been reading here.. is a exellent ROM! But I have problems installing it...
My battery is 100% charged.. I am using my USB cable with my laptop (so powerfailure won't 'brick' my phone) running Win XP SP2 with ActiveSynch 4.5.
I make the activesch connection fine.. I lauch the .exe from the ROM.. i get past step 3 in the wizard... by clicking NEXT to install the ROM.. on the phone a verification prompts me to allow this program to run.. but as soon as I click accept/allow.. the wizard on the laptop immidately loses connection with my phone and says 'can't communicate'.. on my phone i get a red, green, blue and white bars with the text.. TRIN100, IPL_SSPL by Des, TRIN100, SPL-1.07.ds, and in the white area it says serial.
Thank god it didn't 'brick' my phone.. a softset brings my phone back to normal. I have tried this twice.. but same error problems...
I just want to get the GPS workings with my currently ROM with live search or google maps OR install this new ROM and get the GPS working with the same 2 programs.
If anyone can assist it will GREATLY be appreicated!!! I hope have i provided enough details for some of you PROs out there to assist me... lol.. hopefully I am not doing something stupidly wrong!
Thank you,
Chris

ps: In regards to my above post, I have tried the recommended baud rate of 4800, 9600, and even 57600..in the GPS settings again.. no luck...
Thank you,
Chris.

Hello did you upgrade the radio rom???
If not go here and do it,
you really nead that...
RADIO_ROM_1.38.00.11_Only_SSPL.rar

Hi Audsim.
Thank you kindly for the note and the link. I have already downloaded it.
Is this all I need to get the GPS working?

Yes you have to update also the radio part to enable the gps on your device...

Ausdim,
Thank you very much for you help. The radio update ROM installed perfectly!
I thought I would also mention that I found a 'work around' for the LVSW install problem (referenced in my post above) for those that might have the same problem.
Every time, I would try and install the LVSW ROM... on the last step in the wizard, I would get an error on my laptop 'connection error - can't communicate with the pda' and I would get a colored screen on my phone.
Before, I would just unplug the USB from the phone, do a soft reset to bring the phone back to normal and try again.
What worked, is that I left the USB plugged in after this error. I close the install app down and reopenned it (yes the phone was still on the colored screen).. then I would go through the install wizard again..and it worked!!
Very odd behavour as I followed the provided installation instructions to the T, but atleast I got it working and all is well!
Thank you again!
Regards,
Chris

I can't connect to active sync

Hey everyone, i just was getting ready to update to the new core rom (from xplore 1.1) and i plugged in my Tmobile mda into my pc that is running xp, and it is not connecting. When i plug it in it like doesnt even try to find it. And when it does try to find it, it just says it can't establish connection with your item.
I was using xplore and this is the first time i had this problem ever. Ive flashed 4 or 5 times and this has never happened, and thats why im posting it in the wm6 forum.
Does anyone have any ideas? HAs this happened to anyone else?
Now i am back on the newest tmobile update, and it is still doing it. Also i installed the newest version of active sync. Still no go. Also i used shell tools to put xplore on my phone, could that have left out some active sync's files? (probably not, last time i put nottosmarts rom on here everything worked perfect.
ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
gsm 02.25.11
os 2.26.10.2
love you

umm....no one?
can't someone at least flame me or something? im still stuck

I can flame you , lol
If you can't connect, how did you flashed the latest TMobile ? I am not making fun, I really want to help.

i threw it in bootloader mode. It said usb in the bottom right hand corner. It's just that activve sync is not connecting with it. i wouldnt even care, but i think you need an active connection to active sync when you flash with shell tools, which is what i do.
update: i just succesfully sync'd to my laptop running windows vista.
anichillus, do you know if shell tools will work with the new way to flash with vista?
thank you so much for reponding, i really appreciate it...a lot lol
the only reason im doing this is to get to your rom!

I really really don't know that sorry ... I am using WinXP and not shelltool.
Also, why are you using Shell Tool ? Dont't you have G3 ?
Unlock it and easy as pie. I remember papamopps saying that it is possible to flash in vista ...but i don't remember anything about shell tool ...
BTW, you have ZoneAlarm ..or similar installed to the PC where you say that it doesn't connect ? Try and disable firewall ... antivirus ..stuff like that.

well i just don't want to void my warranty, but ill definitly try turning off all the firewalls tommorow when i get a chance, i think im just going to give it a go with shell tools right now and hope for the best
Thank you so much and if you ever need anything i would love to help you in return.
you're the best!

i have the same problem..active sync doesn´t find my wizard..but it´s charging normally, but active sync doesn´t recognize it or i don´t know..what should i do?? i didn´t do any change on my pc..and before it works good..

If you're using Microsoft's OneCare then you may have to enable the Allow ActiveSync to get it to work.
Start OneCare then click the "Change OneCare settings" link on the left
Click the Firewall tab
Click the Firewall connection tool button
Place a check in the ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center" checkbox
Click Okay back to the main page
Hope this helps, but like Anichillus said, it could be any other firewall application blocking it...

yes! all i had to do was turn of norton for a bit and it instantly recognized my device. I was just so confused because this has never happened before and thats why i haven't thought of such an easy explanation. Thank you both for giving me your clear thoughts! lol

Another resolution idea
I had the same issue - I would plug the device in through USB into Vista Ultimate with no results other than the bing bong noise it makes on connection. Checking the device list showed the network pieces being added, but not the actual Wizard itself in the Mobile Devices section. I could not sync, it would not pair, etc, etc.
Resolution (on the Wizard):
1) Settings->Connections->USB to PC
2) Turn off "Enable advanced network functionality"
This of course will not be the resolution for everyone, but in case someone else sees this behavior, here is a list of the symptoms I saw:
1) Plugging Wizard in via USB causes Bing Bong noise
2) wmdc shows no connection
3) device manager shows no Mobile Devices section when connected
4) device manager network adapters may show mobile device services when plugged in
5) If connected in bootloader mode the device manager will show the mobile device
6) You can set up a bluetooth connection (if available on the PC) and sync properly with it
Cheers,
Shoogi

Shoogi, what an awesome first post! Worked perfect for me! Keep it up, great post and lots of help!

i have a problem that when I plug my device active sync connect it and charging starts but after a minute or so active sync disconnected and charging also stoped.
I have installed everything official > rom,radio,ipl/spl etc.

One Care made activesync almost unusable for me. I also had to reflash from THT's rom because I couldn't connect at all unless I hard reset. Makes no sense cause my husband can sync and he had the identical same rom.

Internet while connected to Activesync..

Hi all,
I am on Dutty's apr-29 rom and here is my issue..
My kaiser is connected to my work pc with activesync installed and i am unable to use internet on my device... I can update htc weather with no worries but the pie and skyfire doesn't work... the strange thing is that netfront browser works just fine so iam not sure if its a proxy issue or not???
I would like to use skyfire if possible so pls let me know what can i do to make it work.
Thanks alot

First thing I'd try is to reboot the computer AND soft reset the phone. If that doesnt work, try disabling advanced network... under connections usb to pc.
ps- in the future, its recommended NOT to start a new thread for something like this, but post it in the rom's thread (duttys in your case)

hi, i have the same problem...but I still using the standard ATT rom...

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply, I tried what you suggested but still no luck..

I honestly don't know...the fact that you are able to update the weather but not others has me stumped. Has it always behaved this way? Can you do a complete system backup using sprite and hard resest, before you restore, connect it to activesync (you do not need to configure it to sync with your device, iow just cancel the first screen) and see if you can use pie or check your email. If you can then there must be a problem with your settings somewhere, but if you cant then just use sprite for a full system restore and you should be back to where you were and maybe someone else can help.
For what its worth when I first got my tilt it would not use the internet no matter which way I tried (ota or activesync). Then it magically just started working.

hello once again,
Ok so here is the thing... i played around with it a bit more and was able to get pie to work.. but everything else still doesn't work (windows live, skyfire, etc..)
I went to connections>>advanced>>select network>> on this screen i selected "My ISP" for the top menu and "My Work Network" for the bottom menu... By making this change pie is now working but still no luck with skyfire..
Note: i do not have a data plan so MY ISP menu is empty, i usually use skyfire with wifi or when connected to my laptop at home
PS: I didn't do a hard reset because i dont think it has anything to do with rom upgrade...i have flashed my device like 47 times in last 2 months and have had the same issue with every rom i've tried including the original htc rom. Everything works jsut fine when when my device is connected to my laptop at home using activesync.

I think you would still have the problem after a hard reset. Mine has the problem now on the standard Tilt ROM. The wierd part is it didnt when I first set it up and was running the internet through cerdisp. I guess I need to look into it too, but I havent been going crazy trying to find it.
What version of activesync are you using?

Iam using Activesync 4.5..

Have you tried disabling your windows firewall?

Dumb Question
If the phone is connected to your work PC, why would you use the browser on the phone and not the work computer?
If you are worried about what the boss might see - here's the problem with that - can't they just monitor the server traffic anyway, whether you use the phone or the computer, since you would be using the work's server?
What i do at work - first make sure there are no keyboard loggers - second use the internet on the phone and disable the ethernet on the computer.
I remember an option somewhere in the syncing process about allowing income data connections - I dont know exactly what it does, but i will try to find it and post something
EDIT - it was an option to allow wireless incoming data to phone while connected to activesync.

If your talking about tethering, then you're doing it wrong.
Make sure your Activesync isn't connecting to your phone in the first place. Turn off the "USB" connect in the settings for Activesync.
THen go on your phone and open up the "windows" and look for a file called "intshr" or something like that. Open it up and then hit connect.
You don't need to change any settings for the Media Net if you're using the AT&T rom.

Well the only reason i wanna use my device and not the work pc is beacuse all the major sites like hotmail, youtube, facebook are blocked but they all work on my device using "only" netfront browser..

Thanks Bud,
will give it a go and report back...
PS: i just noticed that windows firewall is enabled and i dont have access to disable it :-(

you must edit the registry
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000

Major!! Wifi Will Not Turn On!!

I've tried it all!! The wifi will not turn on at all. In the settings tab and under connection, the comm manager wifi switch pressed will cause the wait cursor to come up, but after the process it wont turn to on. Can anyone please help me.

how do u know its not on? cant detect wifi?

Is the Wifi antenna icon comes up on the top menu ?

Not Sure What you mean.
1. Go to comm manager
2. Hit WiFI and the wait icon starts (should be a quick spin and its on, but the icon goes on for a while).
3. Switch instead of turning green animates back to off.
I have not loaded anything other then SKtools that could change the registry or system in anyway (no other tweaks except Schapp's)
I looked all over this forum and found tricks for other HTC phones, tried one or two, but they are made for other phones. I looked over the GPS and in Google Earth disabled it. I have also done a hard reset. I also get a device.exe error.

Please somebody help us. My diamond's wi-fi doesn't work. I try a lot of tfink. I try a lot of time hard reset. And several times upgrade diffrent roms. Now i use 1.37.401 europa rom. But my diamond's wi-fi still not work.

same here.. any news?...

Did you set your battery for best performance in the wifi configuration? If not, try it and see if it works then

Yes.. the wifi is not working ,... the same for the gps...

Mines the same. Done a soft reset - nothing. Done a hard reset and all seems fine for the mo.
Got my phone from orange.

hard reset u mean erase all and start like new?
with this hard reset.. the same problem... any other option??

No Wify
I have the same problem. No wify. A "device.exe" error appear. Is there any solution?

WLAN Hardware

I have the same problem with german htc touch diamond and several roms.
I think the hardware has an error. Bull**** !!!
Has anyone an other idea?

I had this issue with my S710, if you turned the wifi on it would flip to on for a second before going back to off - only happened if I has it hooked up to a pc via usb. Not sure if its the same with the diamond?

I couldn't enable Wifi properly on my last phone despite hard and soft resets. After trying lots of times, I gave up and sent the phone back to Orange. I currently have a Diamond Touch that has no problems enabling, but can't connect to my router using WPA2.

I think I have the solution for wifi / wlan problems on diamond
Over one week i try to start my wifi (100 hardresets, 5 new ROMs) and then i believe it is an hardware error.
Under ...\connection\wifi\ was not the tab "wireless", only the tab "networkcards"
My last try was the solution:
1. In my HTC Kaiser is the same wifi-hardware
2. I export the registrykey "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511" from the kaiser to a .reg-file
3. I delete this registrykey on the diamond and import the .reg-file from the kaiser
4. Before I can start wifi i make about 5 softresets and try to start
5. But the start was only successful when I make first a connection to the pc with ActiveSync and then a softreset
This is my solution, please answer me when it works for you too
One problem is still there: after an usb connection wifi will not turn on. I must make a softreset but thats no problem for me.
Its the same what "huwwatkins" describe at #13 with the S710
Here is my regfile from kaiser

I have heard of this... The wifi does not go on but the bluetooth does. I was told it was a bad chip.

same here, called retailer today. told me HTC is working on a fix. will be available in about two weeks. let ya know

Same problem here..
I have the same problem. Tried everything - no luck. Thinking of turning it in for repair - should I flash the original SPL/ROM for warranty reasons or can they tell it's been flashed anyway ?

wifi working fine on mine
i have no problems at all

Browse the phone through USB

Hi all,
I am looking for a a way to browse the contents of my Kaiser (file explorer) through a USB connection to my PC WITHOUT having to install ActiveSync. Is it even possible?
I've searched the forum, browsed the stickies but I can't seem to find an answer.

Nope, as far as I am aware, activesync is needed.
If you do not have the disk, you can download the software here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/activesync45.mspx

There are a couple of apps that can do this. I think one of them might be called "card export", but don't hold me to it...

yes, there is.
you can use wm5torage v1.8, but you need to make some trials with Menu--> troubleshooting options before activiate wm5storage.
On success you will browse your SD card on your PC.
see attachments

@chrisrc1985: I'm not that hopeless of a n00b Thanks for the activesync download link, but I definitely do not want to install it on my very public PC at work!
@dancj: Card Export is what I'm looking for, only problem is, it's not freeware
@dool2002: Cool, I'll give wm5torage a try but it looks like it's very iffy and not very stable.
Anyway, thanks for your replies guys; appreciate it!

WM5torage usually doesn't work on the Kaiser. CardExport does. But remember this only lets you browse the storage card and not the internal phone memory.
Another option is to use Mocha FTP server, and to browse your phone through the network with an FTP client. This allows to view the phone memory as well. However it would only be over wifi/bluetooth for you, as USB still requires ActiveSync to be installed to add the USB network drivers.

Thanks for the heads up about WM5torage, guess I won't bother trying to fiddle with it...
As for CardExport, I tried the evaluation version and it is exactly what I need! Now the only thing left to do is find a freeware that does the same...

WM5torage works with me
I used wm5torage few times with Kaiser, it works fine with me when I select both disables from troubleshooting menu. I copy around 300 meg with it without any mentioned problems.
If you guys know a bug in it, please let me know.

Well I installed WM5torage to try it out (and did a soft reset after the install). When I clic on the disables in the troubleshoot menu, nothing happens, I mean how do I know that the actual options have been disabled? And how do I re-enable them?!
Anyways, when I activate it and plug my phone in, my PC detects a new storage device called WM5torag (without the 'e'), installs drivers for it, then... nothing! It doesn't appear in my windows explorer.
If it's of any relevance, I am running my Kaiser under the HTC WM6.1 official ROM.

Many people are having problems with it, and the only semi-working version actually requires some files ripped from CardExport. It seems it sometimes works on certain ROMs, but like many others (mainly under WM6.1 I think) I have no luck with my configuration. I'm getting the common explorer freeze with subsequent "please insert a disk in drive X:" message when trying to access the drive, and the Kaiser freezes most of the time as well. Sometimes the drive doesn't even appear on the PC.
WM5torage is worth trying once, if it works for you then you're lucky, if not then don't bother getting mad trying to get it to work as it's very unlikely it will.

"Personal Edition only works over ActiveSync (tethered or via Bluetooth)."

Try nueMassStorage.... it makes your device USB easy to install apps without active sync... but it also gives you the choice to use Active sync if you want to....
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueMassStorage.aspx
And it is free and reliable! Using it on my mogul 6800...

It works the same way as WM5torage, so same has the same problems on the Kaiser, or even worse.

Hi,
I'm trying to solve this problem for a week...
My father is using Elf, another ppc with WM6.1 - there is the funny thing:
in application (settings) USB to PC -
In my Kaiser it is asking for ActiveSync Connection or Internet Sharing.
In father's PDA it is asking for ActiveSync, Inernet Sharing and USB DRIVE.
Does anybody know something about it? I would like to have also three variations of connection i that dialog.
Is it a different version of Usb to PC service?
Thanx a lot!
btw: sorry for my bad english.
