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.
Any news yet?
Ill jump in and see what I can do to help
any news?
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?

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...

Ill be following this thread to upgrade my phone to WM5, im new I just need to make sure, should I even attempt this upgrade on my Sprint PPC 6601?
VZ Harrier want WM5
How are we comming on this. I really would liuke to try it. Don't care if I wreck my phone :twisted:
da project -
Hi, yeah got a imate PDA2k EDVO CDMA live in Australia hanging to get this mobile 5 going for some reason. (heard its crap) but yeah. Keep the dream alive team.
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?
I want to add the My Favs app to my trinity so I can use that plan. Ive seen people doing it on the hermes and p4350. Can someone help me. I am willing to make a donation if that will help.
Simply go to directory ''windows/start menu'' and create an ''new folder'' called My favs.
Then add shortcuts by copy/paste
That not what im asking for. In order to use the My Favs calling plan you need the my favs software on your phone like the T-Mobile Wing. People have been taking the wings rom and extracting the software. That is the help I am looking for and willing to pay if need be.

Then i guess you should investigate the 'Herald' forums, as the Wing is actually a Herald (with different design)...
Anyone else can help me?

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.
I have searched both google and this forum and have not found any relevant information so I am hoping someone might know the answer to this. I have the Touch HD in NYC working on Tmobile with no 3G service. It appears that Tmobile now has the Touch Pro 2 with 3G service. I called Tmobile and they confirmed that it has the 1700/2100 bands. I then called HTC and was told that the radio can/may unlock the needed bands to run on Tmobiles high speed service. So....has anyone tried this? The radio version for the Tmobile Touc Pro 2 is 3.45.25.14 but I cant find it available anywhere to give it a try. Maybe it's lucky I didnt find it as I dont really know the effect it would have on my phone.
So....any thoughts?
OK. I now found a tmobile test version shipped with radio 3.44.25.17
I figured since noone seems to want to take the time to answer I would
just see what I can figure out.
Using NBHextract I was able to get to, from what I can assess is the radio file,
02_GSM.nb
I then found another program that supposedly should help to create a new nbh file with just the radio. I followed the instructions including a text file with the following inside:
Blackstone
00000000
3.44.25.14
USA
300,02_GSM.nb (I do not know if 300 is correct for the HD)
It did create an NBH file, when I tried to run it all I got was an error code "0058002"
I have no idea what the error code means and I do not know what else I can do to try and make this work.
Anyone have any suggestions as to where I might have gone wrong?
Is it just that you cannot use the radios interchangeably between the 2 devices??

You should read that first :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521206 (sticky on this forum)
Where you find that :
Security Unlock lets you flash radios from other devices... technically speaking you can flash any radio, but some will brick it (such as Topaz) - however, Diamond, Raphael and Kovsky should all be fine. It can also be an insurance policy against evil radios - people who had the Kaiser radio from hell will know what I mean.

as CaiCai says you will need security unlock your HD.
this will cost you £10 gbp read the thread, as you have minimal posts.
Please also be aware this isn't a helpdesk, if you ask a question there's no guarantee it's going to be answered with your 1st 1 1/2 hour of asking
I'd suggest trying some patience, some people actually do have a life away from this forum, I know it doesn't appear that way sometimes, but we do try to escape the cords that bind us..
Personally I cant see how unless they included the hardware to enable the extra frequencies it could possibly work how you want. But I can hex edit the radio after you've done security unlock.
If you read this very forum there is a thread on radios, in fact there's two.
CaiCai: thanks for your straight forward answer and info. I will look into the things you suggested.
Fards:
If I am reading into your post incorrectly, forgive me, but I just sense as if your response has a tinge of attitude. You are absolutely right, i am impatient. However I was not disrespectful about it. I just explained my experience with the methods i tried in attempting to apply the new radio.
That being said, the two radio threads from what ive read, dont address this kind of question. I will reread them to be sure. In regards to your statement about the phone not having the physical capability to work on those bands, there are some people that have postulated that it may be more of a low level programming issue. Also as I said I spoke to someone at HTC and he said it is possible for a radio to allow a phone to work on additional frequencies.
Thanks for your suggestions also. I will look into unlocking the phone as you suggested. I was under the impression I had already done that, but as you see, I am still relatively new to this. Ive been around for over a yr and half, just not many posts. Also, how would hex editing the radio file help in the inatallation of it? I havent heard any references made to that before.
Thanke again fpr taking the time to respond.
As stated previously by others you need to security unlock your device first. Info on this is available here. Radio's from other devices which are known to work on the HD with this security unlock can be found here. Once your device is security unlocked it will state 'Security unlocked' along the top of bootloader screen.
The radio you mention 3.44.25.17, I don't believe has been tried on the HD before, it may work with this security unlock, but it may not. Some radio's from other devices can still brick your device even when you use security unlock, so do this at your own risk.
As fards stated, try and be patient and don't go trying things unless you are 100% certain. Read up on everything first. Myself and others will always try to help when online. If unsure of anything, you can always PM me.

Rick, thanks for the info. I know people ask the same questions over and over and it can get annoying. There is just such a wealth of information on here that sometimes it definitely is possible to get lost in it all. I really appreciate all the help i get, especially when it is packed in such a friendly tone.

Ideally, I am looking for radio 3.45.25.17
I havent found it as of yet found it. That 3.44
was from a test rom for the TMO touch pro 2.
I have the raw files from the TMO TP2 but from
what ive read, you cant make a radio installer from
a rom dumped from a phone. You need the ruu-signed.nbh file.
Thanks a lot.
theres a good chance that the radio will still need hex editing, if you read the threads about radio unlocking it's mentioned in both of them.
It's not hard to do at all, it just needs one section changing
me attitude.. noo never ..
Thanks guys for directing me to the right locations. I think the problem was I was searching with my terms being too specific. Looking for exactly that radio on the HD. Anyway, I will be bringing up the same issue here for anyone that would like to follow how it plays out.
MODS:
I guess you can delete this if you would like.
Rhodium radios are not compatible with the HD, they will kill it.
wat a shame. Very disappointing. Well, maybe they will come out with another winmo 3G phone soone to help me out. Thanks everyone for your responses.
If Olipro states Rhodium radios are not compatible with the HD, and they will kill it. Then I would believe him. Unfortunate though

Damn, wrong forum. This should have gone in the general discussion forum. I'm really not sure why it's here, I must have been looking at two pages. Sorry.
A buddy has offered to sell me his TP2. He's on T-mobile, I'm on ATT. If he gets the unlock code, can I just pop in my ATT sim and start using it or do I need to do something else?
Also, once I get to know the phone I'll probably want to install one of the custom ROMs; are there problems with doing this?
Thanks in advance. Yes, I searched the forums. I have been active on the ATT TP forum, so I'm going to be new here! Hope this forum is as friendly as that one is!

yes put your sim card in and it will work, and no there is not any problems with flashing custom roms you just have to read the guides before you do anything, mostly if its your first time, first you have to HardSPL the fone if not done already, there is a guide for that, and then you should task29 the fone then flash xD also you can flash a radio, look through these forums and you will fine how to complete these, good luck!
Thank You!
Thank you! That's what I wanted to hear! I'm getting the phone tomorrow, so I look forward to checking this forum out more thoroughly!
The only other thing you may want to take note of is that you will not be able to access AT&T's 3G network on the T-Mobile Touch Pro2. The hardware radio does not support their 3G network. EDGE and GPRS will work fine, however.
