Hey all.
For once, I upgraded to wm 5 without any problems, well so I say.
Theres a few things, that I could do with.
When I originally tried upgrading, I copied the cab files etc from the ext rom ( o2's ) and I fancy installing some of the fixes they provide, but each one is called customization tools, so each time i install one, it uninstalls the previous. Any way around this?
Also, the joypad between the green and red phone, when the dialpad is open ( pressing green phone ) I used to be able to press up to view my contacts and down to see my history. Anyway to fix this?
One last, do the developers out there. I developer software for the ppc and windows using .net and cf.net. I would like to access the sdk of the phone it's self, which I know you can use CFNET's own framework to access certain things. But if theres anything else, i'd appreciate a heads up on it?
Kind regards
TIA

hijacking my thread lol
The previous versions were complicated, you had to get device id's etc correct or your phone was useless. So I downgraded back to shipped rom and lost my ext rom auto install feature.
This one, basically backup, unlock your rom, copy a file to the correct folder and run the exe, after that it's some complicated button presses and your in.
A tip! don't set a password when it first asks you. I did this on the last rom, and it locked me out completely. Not sure if its been fixed.

now obsolete
new aku2 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279908
so am i right in presuming that the gprs settings and phone settings are present in the rom? if not, how do we find them?
ALSO:
T-Mobile are releasing a rom update this month (ie this coming week!) so it might be worth looking at what they have done, not just for wifi fix but any other maintenence changes. Apparently they do alot of testing on their roms so there might be useful stuff there.
t-mobile gprs and wap settings are part of the extended rom. the 3 cabs files that begin CAB-Customization-...
i didnt include them as i'm on O2. This is more like a 'Qtek' version for the charmer, a universal version. doesnt include any operator specfic content.
looking forward to that update, hopefully its aku2, everyone else is releasing theres at the moment.
SDIO
What about SDIO drivers in this debranded OS?
so if i back up my current rom cabs and then install this, if it all goes pearshaped, i can relaod the origional and not end up with an expensive paperweight?
i wanna do the deed, but am scared as hell with it being my first PPC and only a few weeks old at that.
but anything to speed it up, its like im running windows or something.......
oh!
:wink:
only way you could mess up is if you pull the plug or have a power cut! while uploading the new os. remember to backup all your contacts and stuff as you'll need to hard reset.
you can start all over again if it doesnt boot or something by using the install package on the t-mobile site
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
just go into the phones bootloader, with the phone off, hold down camera and plug in the sync cable until the 3 color boot screen comes up and run the install package to go back to factory.
It worked!!
Dear dave106 and all;
i tried your fantastic upgrade yesterday. This was my experience:
1- I works like charm!
2- you might find it easier to use Total commander to uncheck 'system' and 'read-only' in the properties of the windows folder on your charmer, before Unlocking CID (to avoid any error).
3- alternatively you might use Lockiwiz 2b from this forum to unlock and unlock CID first.
4- the ROM upgrade went fine, showed some error messages on the charmer screen (nothing to worry about) but did not indicate an end. I unplugged it after 20 minutes. It rebooted on itself et voila, it was up and running.
5- Changing the boot scrren went very smoothly.
6- I noted that the T-mobile customization (after the new config.txt) did not install at all. I had to manually install the CAB listed in the config.txt file to reload the MMS and GPRS settings.
But now my charmer has no T-mobile crap on it...
However, i did not notice any dramatic change in speed....
Ill check your unbraded rom for wifi sdio capabilities over the next few days (on a 'just in case' basis). I'm just recovering from a totally borked pagefile on my main pc so ive been too busy to try as of yet.

try it now, some tit nuked the uploads again
Got the Rom Working, the difference is quite noticable. Re wrote the extended ROM to auto customise just enough to get the MMS and GPRS to work correctly. Did any one work out if a WiFi card SD card will now work?
Would like to know before i buy one!

Anyone have any ideas on what i'm doing wrong or what to do next?
I'm a noob, obviously :roll:
i tried upgrading to wm2005 and it works fine as a pda and for satnav but dosent work as a phone, it will not get anysignal and when it lodsa sometimes in the corner it shows the a redio version other times it willl show just the rom, ive tried upgrading just the radio, ive tried upgrading it all, ive tried returning it to standadrd and it just wont accept anything? ant help anyone? i just want it back to standard.
come one people, 65 views and not one reply? someone must be able to help? i remember when this place used to be helpful.
What operator are you on? All of the recent ROMs do not work on Orange UK. The phone and txt message functionality is broken.
As for not showing the ROM version, this always happens after a crash. Just reset again as soon as you see "NONE".
am a bit lost here.
am on orange UK and evreything works ok with this rom.
just thought i point that out.
opps,thats all rom's since mid november

Before you complain that users cant help you, try helping yourself. You will find that people are more willing to invest their time then!

Wierd, you are the first to come forward to say that it works fine for you. Myself and a couple of other users haven't been able to get reliable telephony for months now. It may be a regional thing, perhaps only in Scotland. I've had replacement phones and I still have problems.
No one seems interested in helping as it's not something that can be easilly tested unless you have the problem yourself.
i was looking for hte downgrade link ill give that a go tomorrow, as tot he person that said i should try helping, how can i help if i dont know anything? we all need to learn and start somewhere. think ill be staying away from here with my spvm600 if thats the attitude this place is takeing.
Hey, it wasn't intended at you, obviously. What I was basically saying was that if you have the same problem, then don't expect a fix as it's a tough one to fix.
could it happen that you are one of those who downloaded the rom which someone had the gall to replace the original one? which rom upgrade did you use?
i cant remmeber what rom it was that i used now as it was about 2 months ago i done it, ive tried the downgrade link that was posted and when i open maupgrade it dosent see any rom on my device or any in the folder and when i click up grade it takes about 10 sconds then says tis done, which is obviously isnt dont, any mroe ideas please people?

use one of the latest (i.e. helmi's or xplode's) and upgrade again. be sure to follow the instructions (including that for device data, and the no/yes/yes input). make sure also you were able to download the whole file (it was a problem for some users).
you might also want to upgrade your radio version (1.15.00).
good luck.
Ok well no one seems to be replying to my question about dumping my orange rom so lets try this instead.
How would i go about saving my orange homescreen so i can put it back once i have upgraded my m700 to the dopod rom.
Or, am i being stupid coz im sort of thinking that maybe the orange customization that runs on first setup is in the ext rom which will stay behind on the upgrade and i will therefore get all my orange stuff still
????? dont really know
Please help i really wanna upgrade my rom but i keep backing out until i can get these things sorted.
thanks all.

In the extROM of GPS enabled ROM, I can see this file : PT_WA_Abaxia.CAB which is related to this Orange customization. But I think that some parts of this Today plug'in are embedded with the OS itself.

On my Dopod rom I'm using the orange customisation from the Hermes ,the cab is HERMES_RO_BUILD_93_CLOCK.CAB,and it's working quite well except for the speed dial.
I think that the abaxia cab our friend mentions in the previous post should do the job.

How big is this file ?
mine is around 100KB I think (I'm at work now, can't check how big it is exactly)
Hi everyone.
in my ext rom on my trinity i have the file PT_WA_Abaxia. I order to test whether my ext rom had the correct stuff i hard reset my hermes and installed my trininty ext rom but this didnt seem to install the homescreen. Saying that though it wouldnt let me run the autorun so i had to install the cabs individually.
The hermes homescreen is older than the trinity one. I have never been a big fan of the orange homescreen but the trinity one is quite nice. You can add vip contacts which show up straight in the homescreen rather than having to use the speeddial thing, the background pic changes depending on whether the phone is on silent, vidrate or ring. All in all a but nicer than the hermes one.
more testing
right on my hermes which was factory settings including all orange customization i tried installing the cab PT_WA_Abaxia. didnt seem to do a huge amount.
I then renamed the old DIL_APP folder and copied this folder from my trinity.
I also copied the DIL_PLUGIN.dll from the windows folder on my trinity onto my hermes. Then i soft reset and my trinity homescreen is now on my hermes and all works fine.
So now i need to know how to get my trinity homescreen onto my trinity without the original orange customization.
When i was playing with my hermes last night i tried not installing the orange customization as this then seemed to allow phonepad to work. I then tried the same steps as i did above and i could get the homescreen to show up in the list. Therefore i can only assume that i would need to run the hermes cab to install the original orange screen and then rename it and stuff like i did above.
So in summary, i would need to save the hermes homescreen cab, and the dil folder and the dll file of my trinity. Flash my trinity with the dopod rom. Install the hermes homescreen using the cab. Rename the folder and copy the trinity one across and copy the dll file into the windows folder and all should be done.
Anyone got a better way, while i go off and test my theory.

You can find the cab (304kb) in the Hermes FTP extended rom section and in the Orange_M31_00_14.123.1.614_extrom

thanks for that, i saved it off the hermes. getting good at this unhiding my ext rom malarky.
anyway. i tested my plan and it worked on my hermes.
I hard reset
didnt do orange ext
installed the cab file HERMES_UK_BUILD_93_CLOCK
renamed the dil folder and copied the trinity one in
copied the dll into the windows folder
and hey presto
porbably a bit of a long winded way but it worked.
Hi,
How are you sure Orange wont know yourve flashed the rom?
Also how do you prevent the orange customization after hard reset on the trinity?
Thanks
Warny
well this is the problem. If orange check then they will know we have flashed the rom. That is why i want to be able to re flash back to the orange rom if i need to.
Easiest way to stop the customization on any device is to soft reset just before it starts, when windows loads up the first time on it you will see a little window saying customization will start in 3 sec or something. Just soft reset then and the customization will not run.
So far though i havent found any real reason not to run it on the trinity though. If i dont run it on my hermes at least i can get phonepad to work but no such luck on the trinity.
just to clarify, this post

was testing that if we flashed to the dopod rom which has phonepad built in, this is how we could get our orange home screen back.
The second line about not doing the orange ext was really just proof of concept that the process would work even if we didnt have the ext rom installed.
I dont know whether we will loose the orange ext rom when we update to the dopod rom but this was proving that even if we do we can still get all the orange customization back again.

OK I was hoping it would allow phonepad. So if you flash back the original rom is there any way they can tell? How close are you to doing this on your trinity? Thanks, Warny
well if we could flash back to original then they would not be able to tell. The problem is is that there is not a dumped version of the original orange rom. Therefore if we flash to the dopod rom we have no way of going back to the orange rom unless someone dumps it for us.
Realisticly there is no reason not to flash the dopod rom because we shouldnt loose anything but we gain phonepad. I do worry a bit about the fact that i cant go back again.
if you wanted to send the phone back though then orange would see that the bootscreen had changed after you have flashed to the dopod and might not be too impressed, saying that. If we flash to the dopod and we get phonepad and all our orange stuff then why would we want to send the phone back.
Oh decisions decisions

Hi,
OK i see. It seems from your post about your hermes that it might be possible to make the phone *look* like it has the original rom? (sorry Im half asleep today).
Are you considering trying the process out on the trinity then? (ill wait for you if so lol)
Also it voids the warranty so if it broke it would be nice to reflash to orignal rom so they cant avoid fixing it dont you think?
Warny
Warny
Yeah thats what i mean.
I am very tempted i just keep bottling it.
You are right also about the warranty
If there was an orange rom available i would do it without a thought.

Oh crap, just realised. Wrong phone. im using my hermes. god damn it.
Well it worked on that. I will try it on my Trinity but i need to go and get a mini sd card now.

Perhaps you could get someone to install the customizaton from your trinity on their trinity+dopod. Then see if there is any noticable difference?

I know I should reflash the phone. But this happened to me with a few ROMs.
After some usage of the phone "Home" hard key was taking me not to the Home screen but to last Manila tab I was using.
For instance I press a Globe tab (Internet) -> Launch Opera browser -> Pres Home hard key -> ... And I'm back in Internet tab and not home screen.
The same behavior with the rest of the tabs.
Any ideas how to reset the function of Home hard key? Are there any registry entries which are responsible for that? I think it should be fixable.
Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I will try that.
Yesterday I did some reflashes and now the problem is solved. So I wait until next time my Home button fails and will try your fix.
Thanks again!
Heh.. it happened to me once again. Even after reflash - the problem still exist. It reapeared after phone crash (or self reset).
I tried to overwrite my dll with yours, but WinRAR says - access denied.
What are other ways to do that?

Hi,
Seems that I found what was causing Home button to not function properly.
I uninstalled S2U2 (slide to unlock) and now my home button works properly.
No idea how this is connected. But the fact is that home button started to work after S2U2 uninstallation.
Would be very sad if it's really so that this bug is connected to S2U2. Coz I don't know what should I use instead of S2U2.
