XDA Mini S ROM update

Hi
Am newbie to the whole XDA thing (am just converting from BB), have managed to unlock my XDA Mini S and tried running K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020721_ship.exe as i heard this would reflash the ROM to the latest (a friend of mine gave me this copy).
Got an error during this, and wondered if there was a specific XDA Mini S version (have searched on the site and it appears that there is on ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard) and there are many different ROMS under the ROM directory, but i am unable to login to this site.
Am i just being thick here.
Any help gretaly appreciated.

That ROM upgrade worked ok on my xda-mini-s
When I upgraded my ROM I done the following.....
#unlock phone
with no SIM card in phone
copy EnableRapi.cab to phone
run EnableRapi.cab from phone
run lokiwiz.bat from PC
select option 'U' Unlock SIM
phone reboots
add SIM to backout bin file names on PC
run lokiwiz.bat from PC
select option 'C' unlock CID
phone reboots
add CID to backout bin file names on PC
#install new ROM
uncomress ROM file from zip
click ROM install file
follow instruction
takes 10 minutes
phone reboots
Hope this helps

Bilbo,
Hi. I ran through what you put but my Mini S does not auto reboot. I'm not sure the exact definition of a soft reboot is? - Put the stylus in the side or hold the power button for a few seconds?
Either way I cannot get the new KJAM rom on as invalid vendor ID is haunting me.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You
Ben

Dudes - I've done the same upgrade to my mini S. Not sure if it's worth the bother. No difference in speed/performance and my keyboard shifted symbols (@?£$) are out of sync. I think I'll go back to the Mini S rom without the customised stuff.

LLcoolJ:
I noticed lots of difference, speed and battery life.
To get the keyboard from US to UK symbols use the following:
Here are the registry changes ....
Keyboard language
Registry: HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
Key: Locale (string)
Value: 0809 English UK
0409 English US
0407 German
0419 Russian
040C French
0410 Italian
040A Spanish

The invalid vendor ID is the result of the ROM update..... to get rid of it make sure you run :
run lokiwiz.bat from PC
select option 'U' Unlock SIM
phone reboots
add SIM to backout bin file names on PC
A soft reboot is when you hit the reset button on the right hand side, its like rebooting a PC. A hard reset however is a re-install boot where you loose everything and the ROM is re-installed.

Cheers Bilbo - I've made the changes to the registry and the keyboard talks like me. Your right about battery power as well.

Bilbo.
Thank you for replying and helping.
Let me just go over what you said...
first I ran the loki cab file on the mini S.
run lokiwiz.bat from PC -- done.
select option 'U' Unlock SIM -- done (with sim card removed)
phone reboots -- not automatically though, but I will reboot it after the lokiwiz.bat finishes
add SIM to backout bin file names on PC -- what does this mean? this is not in the lokiwiz instructions and this is where i'm going wrong. Where is the bin file created btw, I can never find it?
I have tried so many combinations i'm starting to lose hope.
If you can help to get this damn thing working I promise to make a donation to this web site.
Thanks for all the good work.

i managed to get the unlock, but did not do the CID (so will try that).
So once i have done that will the K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020721_ship.exe upgrade work?

Here's how I got mine working. - Remove the Sim card. Make sure you use Lockwiz02b. Select U to unlock from the options menu. The mini S should reboot automatically. Leave the device alone until its functional again and then start Lockwiz02b again. Select C (CID unlock) from the menu. It should reboot again and close down the Lockwiz box. The mini S should now be ready for a rom upgrade. On my first attempt I used the original Lockwiz prog which caused problems for me.

I'm about to do my rom update on my mini s....but this thread is so confusing!
Is there a step by step guide somewhere on the forum???

ROM Upgrade
Upgraded O2 XDA mini without any real problems:
I used the aWizard 1.3 Beta 2 tool which allowed me to carry out the CID Unlock and was pretty easy to understand. What it did not do was pick up the ROM from the rom folder but once I had completed the CID unlock I ran the rom normally and all was well.
So in essence: Connect Mini to PC via Activesync
Run the aWizard Bat file enabling RAPI (This is used to communicate with your XDA once it has done using Activesync). Then select the Unlock CID option. Once completed I then exited the wizard and followed the instructions as part of the rom upgrade and all worked well no hitches except the one mentioned above about the keyboard (now I have to find out how to modify the registry).
So what I used: aWizard 1.3 Beta 2 and QTEK Rom 2.17
186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe

Mystery Solved!!!!
I finally figured out why its not working....
When I downloaded the loki zip file I opened it up in winzip and dragged the contents to a folder I created. Ran the batch file eveything seemed ok and the unlocker said it unlocked the device.
I have now realised that you have extract the files from the loki zip file and use the folder structure. If you don't, the utils directory is not created and the loki.bat cannot reference some files.
Found the answer on page 12/13 of the loki thread.
Thanks All
Ben

After doing the CID unlock the ROM install worked fine.
Just having the keyboard issue at the moment with symbols, went to:
Registry: HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
Key: Locale (string)
Value: 0809 English UK
but could not find the locale key to set to UK?
All i see is:
DefaultKeyLock
InitialDelay
MuteSwitch
RepeatRate
ShowWarningMsg
Am i looking in the right place or do i have to add this in (if so how)?
Cheers

Youv'e got to create a new registry key. Assuming you've got a registry editor. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Control Panel / Keybd.
Then create a new string value. Name it Locale and give it a value of 0809 for UK. Then reboot.

Just went in a created the new reg key as you mentioned.
Rebooted and it worked.
Many thanks for all your help on this, it is most appreciated.
I am now the converted!!!
So to sum up for anybody else:
Bought XDA Mini S from 02
use Lockwiz02b
Select U to unlock from the options menu
The mini S should reboot automatically
Start Lockwiz02b again
Select C (CID unlock) from the menu
It should reboot again and close down the Lockwiz box
The mini S should now be ready for a rom upgrade.
Then run
K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020721_ship.exe
follow usual prompts.
Once phone is up and running, get a reg edit tool (i used PHMregedit) as the keyboard for a couple of the symbols is out of synch (think it is US style).
Using regedit tool
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Control Panel / Keybd
Then create a new string value
Name it Locale and give it a value of 0809 for UK
Then reboot.
Mini XDA should now work fine.
I have found that the new push technology for email is faster than Blackberry and more usueful.
Hope this is helpful to others.
Cheers great forum

quick question...
i am fed up with waiting for o2 to release their latest ROM so i am going to take the plunge with this ROM instead, my question is do i have to make any special changes once installed to make it work with O2 UK i.e. mms settings, GPRS settings etc.?
Also i noticed somebody has put together a T-Mobile USA customised ROM any chance that somebody will do this for O2 UK?

The Problem im having here is that once i have created the registry key, it deletes after a reboot. Is there something else i need to unlock to allow writing to the registry?

New Roms
Hi there - I'm sure this is your answer - I have read this on many forums.
WM05 takes a while to store the registry updates after you exit your editor. Make the registry change and wait a minute or so before performing the soft reset.
Hope this helps - we have all fell for this "improvement" to WM5 from the boys at MS.
Regards,
Chris.

Thanks Bilbo . . . Spot on. First time to all this and followed it a treat
Thanks All

backup from wm2003 on wm5

ok guys i have a lil problem and i hope you'll help me to solve it...
recently ive upgraded my 9090 to wm5 and ive made a backup using sprite software... however im not able to force that piece of software to restore my inbox and contacts on the new system... i have a fresh backup, made using wm2003 xBackup software and here goes the question...
is it possible to restore xBackup's backup file on wm5 (helmi 1.3.2)?
(the file is called CompactFlashBackUpPim)

No, you can't do it. The different versions of the OS store the data differently. You need to go back to 2003, activesync your contacts etc to your PC, upgade, then re-sync. I think the upgrade guide mentions this.
I always keep mine sync'ed anyway, so doing an upgrade is a very quick process. I also keep cabs on the SD card so I can quickly install everything.

and is it a way to see the data like appointments or contacts from that backup file?

SPV m1500!

Hello all...This may be my first post but i have beed watching the forum for quite a long time!You are doing a great work around here!
I need a big favor from anyone that can help!Does anyone have the original SPV m1500 rom provided by orange and can upload it somewhere for me to download?Or can anyone back up his ROM from a m1500 and upload it somewhere?
And i have question as well and i would be grateful if you could answer this one!
If you haven't CID unlocked your phone and somehow managed to upgrade the ROM with a different make's one (i have one from Qtek 2020i at the moment) will it be blocked by the network or is a matter that the person that i bought it from (over ebay) reported it as lost/stolen?Currently everything works fine apart from the phone bit!It says no service and can't detect any network!(it just says ''unable to read setting from the network.Try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again'').
Any help would be greatly appreciated

sorry double post!server had problems!can a moderator please delete one of them/?

Any help pls!??

Hi,
SPV M1500 same as O2 Xda IIi / Dopod 699 / i-Mate PDA2 / Qtek 2020i and known as HTC Alpine. You can upgrade using any ROM that build for HTC Alpine.
Please check at here about all in one sim unlock tool by itsme
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=240784
Thanks

Thanx clustered for the reply!
I have already used that thread to upgrade my firmware but i am just asking if i anyone has the original SPV m1500 orange rom available?
The thing is i have done the upgrade without CID unlocking the phone!Everything went ok but the only problem is that now the phone in the signal bar has an exclamation mark and says no service!So i was just wondering if it is the upgrade that ''blocked'' the phone bit of the M1500 or is it something else!
Thanks again

after a lot of search i found in a forum someone stating that :
''RIM check the ROM version and RADIO version before they allow you to connect to the relay. If it's not an approved mix, your device IMEI will be BARRED from the relay.''
is that possible and do you think that's why my phone gives the no service message?
Could anyone suggest any solutions to this?

anyone can help??

HTC Alpine as known asSPV M1500 can be unlocked free. I DID IT
THIS IS THE SIM UNLOCKING FOR HTC PH10D:
follow these steps carefully:
Find and download xdadev all unlock.
if you don't find it ,send me an email to [email protected] and I will send it to you.
-Take the SIM card out of your pocket pc and reboot the phone with no sim card,and no memory card.
-Unzip the file on your HTC Alpine and put the file in My Documents or in Storage ,in the pocket pc.
-Run the application.
the application should disply ,UNLOCK SUCCESSFULL and write details of it in a textfile called xdadevunlock.dll
and place it in My Documents.
-Replace the SIM card ,or put a different SIM card into the phone.
-When prompted for unlocking code input 00000000.
-That's it! ...It worked perfectly on my HTC Alpine ,the so called SPV M1500.
-Do NOT run the application again if the phone has succesfully been unlocked!!!!--there myght be bad things;;just check using a different SIM card,or
even two.and then delete it forever.
-Many thanks to the creators of this program!
In the second part I would like to say to people using Windows MOBILE deviceCENTER in VISTA that in bootloader ,neither VISTA neither this Windows Mobile Device Center does Not detect the phone through the USB cable... but only after a REBOOT . Interesting when the screen says '' tap the screen to begin setup your device'' ,if you don't press anything but just plug the USB, the mobile device center detect the phone and you can see the original Windows files in a folder called ''extended ROM'' into the phone.....
...BUT you cannot copy ,add or delete anything...
Does anyone know how to do to be able to add ,delete ,or copy these files???

Transferring contacts from Vario > Vario III

What's the best way of transferring my contacts from my MDA Vario to my new MDA Vario III. It looks like my old one has them stored on the phone rather than the SUM.
I tried Activesync but this said I don't have Outlook installed for the Vario III.
How have you guys done it ?
Vario III rocks

search for pim.vol -its like that on my uni - might be the same...

Easist way? Download the Outlook trial version, install, sync both phones, do a system restore.

I use an app called EasyHelper
http://easyhelper-contact-sms-backup.en.softonic.com/pocket
Easy to use and works

Not if you ask me.....why don't you just use DotFred's PPCPIMbackup utility (Posted HERE) to backup the contacts (and anything else), copy the backup file to your desktop PC via ActiveSync, then copy onto the new device and re-run PPCPIMbackup to restore it all again....
Now, THAT'S the easiest way!!!!
Mark.

Or you can use the 15 day trial version of Jeyo Mobile Extender. I used this to transfer my texts and call history from my Vario to my Vario III.

Camera not working anymore

Hi,
i flashed the TOFCLOCK HIMA WM6 AKU.0.7.0 Fresh
upgrading from WM5.
After that I restored a Sprite-Backup that I made from
WM5 to get all my Apps up and running.
Everything works fine so far, only the camera-button is
not working. It says "Error opening the shortcut or locating
the target filename".
I tried to reconfigure the button under Start->Settings->Button
but there I cannot find the Camera Application???
It is gone somehow. I also dont find it with file-explorer.
Can someone tell me the NAME of the Application, where it should
be located? \Windows - folder I guess???
And can I separately install it, do I only need the exe or also some
dlls.
Can someone provide me the files?
Thanks in advance for any help
Greetings

did u hard reset it after Flashing
the NO,YES,YES Way

Yes, I did this.
I also checked the camera BEFORE applying my Sprite-Backup
and it worked there.
Unfortunately I did not check the filename of the camera app
or saved it.
It is a bit strange since I dont know exactly how sprite backup
applies its backup...
Also I dont want to redo the complete flashing process since
my sprite backup is not up to date right now and my pc for
syncing is at my workplace...
So my Idea was to just "reinstall" the camera app or just
copy the files to the pocketpc to get it working again.

The problem is your backup..u say that u made the backup from Wm5 and restored it to WM6....Even windows has some limitations...WM5 Is a lot different then Wm6.U cant run WM5 Backup on WM6..my advise is that u hard reset it and then see if its working

I know that sprite backup causes the problem.
but I use some apps (financial and business organization)
that I dont know how they store their data on the pocketpc
and they dont sync anymore with vista and new windows
mobile center.
Currently spritebackup is the only way I get them to work again
on WM6 ;-) so I need to apply it.
Since I dont have any other problems right now beside the
camera I am pretty happy with WM6 on my "old" device.
I dont need camera very often but every now and then it
comes in quite handy.
I guess I wait till i come back to my workplace next year,
make a current sprite backup then reinstall WM6, save camera app,
apply sprite backup, apply camera app ...
and see if it is working.

Hi, tschombe
go 2
windows\start Menu\Programs\camera.lnk
the shortcut should read
:MSCAMERA?shellres.dll,-8263
then soft reset

first copy the shortcut from ur ppc to pc and drag it on a notepad..their u will see what hesham wroted..if it doesent match..fix it..and overright the shortcut by copying it back

sorry, I was on vacation for a while.
I tried the above solution, there was NO shortcut, so I created
a new one with notepad and copied it to my ppc
Now I have a shortcut that opens FileExplorer on the root folder,
when I tab the shortcut?
