Questions from Wizard user. - Shift Development

Hi Guys n Gals
I have a couple of questions if i may. I have a SHIFT X9500 and i am wondering about upgrading the ROM to allow GPS functionality. I have heard this can be done but am not entirely sure how.
Will i need to cook a ROM or are the .nbf files to use with a loader exe ??
Are there complete loaders / packages i can do this with ??
Can i even use my existing ROM update utility to load files ??
and finally . . .
Can someone take a quick 2 mins to explain how Vista sits in relation to WM6 (SnapView bit). Are these operating systems running side by side or is vista running a shell inside WM6 ( unlikely i know but better to ask and not find out the hard way later lol )
I have loaded the ROMS onto a WIzard many times but this is my first SHIFT if i am able to go ahead with a ROM upload
At the mo, i am presuming i would need to cook a ROM then upload to the SHIFT ???
Sorry for the questions but i have been away from upgrading HTC toys for a while...
Any answers / info will be muchly apprecieted
Thank you all in advance..

SHIFT coming !!

xda-dev -> Shift -> Shift
WIKI would have covered all your questions too !!
Just get HARDSPL, get a rom with GPS enabled and get lucky, but be aware, the shift has few memory to store maps on!
Greets
ps. vista and Mobile run together each on its processor, one key press to change the OS in a second!
before you do all the stuff and read the wiki and threads about liberating please UTFSE !!!

for all that not know what UTFSE is (like me ;-)
UTFSE = Use The Freaking Search Engines

HTC Hermes's WM 6 on Breeze

As I understand "Also the Breeze Hardware shares most of the Parts with the Hermes" is it possible to convert it's WM 6 for Breeze?
(sorry for my bad English)
Probably it is, need to look into it. at first we need to crack spl to avoid nbh check
hi,
maybe hard spl v7 works...
i have experimented today... but i need my phone, because of that i finaly didn't click on the "flash now" button
Hermes is a PocketPC and Breeze is a Smartphone...
Both WM5 and WM6 have separate OS editions for PocketPC and Smartphone. If I were you, I wouldn't try to force "WM6 Professional" (Pocket PC) for Hermes on a Breeze (Smartphone - "WM6 Standard").
So, you need to decompress the xip segment and get a memory map of breeze. if memory addresses are the same as hermes, you need to replace a coredll.dll in second xip segment and you need to build imgfs using wm6 os from excalibur/vox and breeze wm5 drivers and applications. to load this into the phone, you need to avoid nbh check
how can we decompress the xip segment ???
what is exactly the coredll.dll ???
HI,
today i have played a little bit with bootloader...
task 32 says FF ... so its definitly not supercided... but i don't really know why a few other persons here can flash a dopod rom.. maybe they are all the same cid ??
also i'm searching for a usb sniffer ... have found a few in the web but all costs money and noone had give me understandable commands while using the romupdate tool from the actuell htc rom...
ok found some other interresting info..
the RUU_BREE100_1.34.251.1_1.38.00.10_HTCEUR_SHIP ROm has a QTEK_Z12 CID ....
but we all can update it to breeze device...
quite interesseting is also that:
Cmd>info 2
HTCSQTEK_Z12Û.oÂHTCE
... as we can see i my HTC Device has a QTEK_Z12 CID ... maybe someone can check what CIDS und the Breeze's out there...
Hi, could you explain how have the CID of the phone. Because i tried with info2 but it didn't work. Thanks. ++
----------------------------
just go in bootloader:
turn off device and restart it with hold cam button...
attach usb cabel the serial line on the 3color screen should change to usb...
also you have to deactivate the activesync usb connection...
then start the mtty app choose the usb connection...
then youll see the cmd> line... after this enter info 2 ... and you should become a output like mine...
------------------------
what ipl/spl version's are shown on the 3 color screen ??
i read that HTC announced S730 (wings)
it is like s710 but with MTeoR's hardware and WM6
I hope that it is possible use s730 ROM to take WM6 for MTeoR
So we need wait for s730 i think
I hope that i can see WM6 on my MTeoR :-[
concerning to his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1257924&postcount=10
i say it a second time now...
we need the excalibur wm6 rom
why...
simply ... the excalibur has likley the same hardware as breeze !!!
all other devices are based on the hardware like wizard... (200mhz cpu etc.)
I'm just working on all the needs...
cookin with wm5 works!! i had cooked a German only version from the actuell rom! with a few tools on it...
also cooked an costumized bootscreen:
also there has to be somewhere in rom a "Shutdown" Screen.. i flashed the 2 Bootscreens and when shutting down the phone theres the old htc screen...
excalibur (s620) based on Tornado. So it have OMAP chipset, other radio w/o 3G etc.
at this time there is no MTeoR's based smartphones on the market as I know. Announcement only (Wings/Erato/"excalibur replace")
... damn ... what t.. f...
i searched a few days a ago and i had a website where the info was that excalibur is like the mteor...
....
ok so far i can see the next mteor hardware like phone should be the s730 (Wings)....
sorry that was my fault...
...
ok maybe i tought that excalibur was the right because this is the only one where i can find a wm6 rom for download... on all others there are no shipped roms available??
hmm
Hi,
ok just played a little bit with the excalibur rom...
the mainproblem is that i cant extract the files out of the nbh file...
because of that i can't modifiy a hermes rom...
i will look forward and hope to find an solution for it...
ok...
extraced excalibur rom...
cooked a bit...
but no working rom yet!!
also have flashed a wm6 hermes rom with a few files modified to breeze...
device didn't boot on bootscreens...
when flashing an unmodified excalibur rom, breeze directly goes to bootloader ....
next thing i want to try is to use the original 1,34.251.1 Rom ...
wow... I hope you manage to get a working WM6 rom for the MteoR...
Hi guys!

Language change from Chinese to English ? ? ? IIs

Hey guys how would it be possible to change the OS language from Chinese to English on my O2 IIs?
Thank You in advance
Just choose rom you would like (with your favourite language) and then just load it. Everything (apart from ROMs - just pinpoint, I can upload it for you) is in Wiki. Start with choosing weather you want wm2003se or wm5.
i also wanna know it!
Hello what is the difference from wm2003se or wm5
I downloaded couple of ROMs from this site but it was saying that i got the wrong version installed on my pocket pc and can't upgrade.
If it's possible can i get a link where i can download ROMs, i would like to try both wm2003se and wm5
Thanks hope to hear from you soon
To know what is the difference between wm2003se and wm5 you have to read, read and read. Also some search can be affective. This question was answered milions of times.
To change ROM tou need to READ. Wihtout reading no rom shall be changed
Two hints:
1. Try to find out, what is rom you have now. WM2003SE or WM5
2. start reading EVEYRTHING what si written here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
3. Experiment with Search button on this forum - this is really safe and cannot explode your computer.
4. When you will have problem, that Wiki page nor search button cannot help, feel free to ask.
5. Don't be suprised, when you will get more answers like mine or no answers, if you ask for something, that is covered in Wiki or can be easily found using Search button.
would any one have a working link of newer Rom ?
this one doesn't seem to work http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/files/BA_TMUK_14200_112_11300_Ship.exe
thanks jakubd manual helps
this helped me allot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=243652
and here is the link for the ROM: http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/files/BA_TMUK_14200_112_11300_Ship.exe
If you need any specific file that was on XDA ftp server and is not available any more, just post request - I have backup of whole XDA ftp with all roms from the time.
The newest ROMs are @ rapid and proper links are in the wiki - how to upgrade to 1.42 section.

Flashing to WM06 - newbie questions

Hi all,
sorry for the newbie question but I'm thinking about upgrading my Trinity to WM06 and wondered if anoyone could answer some basic questions as I'm a bit confusted (... not that techie I'm afraid)
1. As my device is a SIM free, non network attached HTC P3600, do I need to do any of this "Hard-SPL" upgrading before selecting a ROM
2. is there a simple step - by - step flashing guide for newbies like me anywhere
3. Do the ROMs provided here enable SDHC for the device. I want to use higher capacity mini SD cards - this is a really important requirement
4. I love the inbuilt GPS and Tom Tom solution - are there any issues with GPS/Tom tom support in the upgrades
Many thanks in advance

Hey there, coe62!
I'm not a techie myself, but have just recently flashed my Trinity for the first time to WM6, so most of your questions were mine also. Here:
1. yes. From what I understood, also protects your device from a bad flash helping you recovering it (as far as I know, there are three of them: OliPro's HardSPL 1.30, OliPro's HardSPL 1.20 and Des' Crash Proof SPL)
2. http://www.trinityguides.info (thanks to racerx_)
3. some of the do, some of them don't, check here for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1635483&postcount=5
4. using iGo, so I can't tell!
Best of luck!
iGo
hi tnyynt,
i've seen u are using iGo, and also seen the small flag in the corner....so let me say first "salutari". as i'm new user of a trinity and have the german wm5 (my german sucks), i will flash it to wm6 english but i don't know if iGo is working with wm6. is it iGo os dependant?
thks!

Hey there!
YES, iGo works very well on both WM5 and WM6. I had it with the stock WM5 and now using it with a cooked WM6, it works great on both operating systems.

hi there
Am as a newbie as well, lately i've been tried flashing pretty man ROMS over Trinity Windows Mobile Section 6, and find out some ROMs are really good, smoothness, fast and damn good performance, or you can try Mary(latest ROMs). Personally, after trying cooked ROMs, i found Only _AX3L_WM6_WWE_v3.1.2c FULL & LITE (25-10-07)
This ROM is simply an edited version of the Official DOPOD's ROM (lastest released version!) for the Trinity work on my DopdD810, what i mean is with this ROM i can get connected with Internet, but rest of other ROMS don't, i've no idea Why, i am from Hong Kong, somebody has idea due to connection to the internet??
Ok, due to my bad understanding which SDHC would be most suited for my device? As i read about
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1635483&postcount=5
for ROMs flashing i follow the instructions, so far without serious errors happened, i'd to thank all of you, no matter newbies, seniors, moderators...
hi!
that's great, thanks. hopefuly i'll have time in week-end to play around and flash it!
numai bine!
Well i use this thread to post some of my questions...
i get my p3600 tomorrow and i'm very excited, so i want to flash the WM6 from bepe.
1. is there any way to backup the factory-flashed rom?
2. do i lose the warranty if i flash the device? is there a workaround?
3. I've read a few threads but i cant get an idea whats this hard spl for?
4. is it possible to reset the p3600 to factory default so may i can get warranty if somethings fails?
thanks for the replies..
Hi guys,
I want to upgrade my phone to one the WM6 roms available in here.
I just wanted to ask will the sms / email / mms settings stay once the new ROM has been flashed.
If not where can i find them to write them down.
Thanks in advance.
no, they will be erased...
take a look at the trinity upgrade guide on trinityguides.info which will take you step by step through flashing your ROM (backup, hard spl, flash ROM, restore, etc)
Erase the ROM before installing?
I heard it's better to erase the ROM before installing a new one.
A kind of a 'super' eraser to clean deply the ROM. Have you heard of any of such a program/utility?
Thanks

Dumping standard shipped ROM

Is there anyone who has succesfully dumped the Official Shipped ROM that comes with the European models ?
I'm sure that apart from me, there are other members who would like to revert to the offical ROM just in case something happens with the device. (need to send it back for a reparation)
I'm going to flash just right now anyway, as I'm positive that there will be someone in the future dumping the offical ROM.
\cheers, now pressing start
EDIT : After flashing I keep the high pitched noise that almost everyone is Reporting. I can't get rid of it. Be aware with this ROM,. you might get stuck with a hissing device that won't stop I'll wait for some solution and then flash again, can't use Winmo anymore
me too...please help us - i cannot use my device due to constant noising...
up0grading the EC chip drivers
I saw some remarks about the EC Chip driver update from HTC - will try that now, see if it helps anything at all.. For now, the device always hisses like a snake when Vista is active.
Without Vista active, it's mostly quiet, but gives no sound in WinMo, however, if you try to make a sound in WinMo, sometimes, after a few seconds, it will hiss and pitch for the duration of the sample played...
This is really annoying
hi,
i did a backup pof's way, so i have now part00.raw - part04.raw and SPL.nbh.
Rebuild Part02.raw and uploaded again. Working like a charm. Problem is: my original ROM is in German. anyone interested?
german but quiet is much better than english with noise.
please provide links.
Thanks
GERMAN..?
That sounds wonderful: need the the german ROM very urgent, can`t work with my beloved shifty...
Please share the ROM, thanks so much!
Me too!
I installed the GPS Bios pack - Easy BUT:
The noise only appears while staring after reinstalling the battery - just restart SnapVue after Vista is up and the noise is gone.
Also gone is the German keyboard under SnapVue - Regional settings don't change that!
GPS work in SnapVue and Vista (using ActiveSync & GPSgate - after test period ~30€).
Overnight SnapVue need app. double the energy than before!!!
Using GPS in Vista means NO internet/mail!
Wrong keyboard layout and battery drain tempt me to reinstall an original German ROM and to continue using my dear old eTrex with USB together with my Vista progs.
So, how and where2 can I find the German ROM?
Thanks,
Axel
Send the Rom-Link to a victim already. Waiting for an OK before i publish.
Victim report Nr. 1:
@tece: Thanks a lot, man, good job, it works fine..!
Regards and thanks a lot.
Alex
great!!
i noticed that pocketie is already installed and that \Windows\StartUp\PKG.exe and BlockTitleBar.exe are already removed.(like i did as described in this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377441 thread before backing up the original ROM). Now I'm looking to get the registry preconfigured to not start Snapvue. Liberated German ROM will get released this weekend. If you can't stand waiting for that ROM send me or traumrakel a PM for the rapidshare link.
If you could include the liberation into the new ROM I would prise your name... ;-)

Do you have the reconstructed ROM of version (original UK Shift): 1.30.405.0 WWE ? Can u post it/send it? Then I don't have to rebuild it myself, because I'm not that experienced it rebuilding myself. Also in case my rebuilded rom fails to work.
Many thanks!
cmonex
Could you please share the 1.30WWE
Thanks
Ram
You have it, it's the one having gps and sound bugs with european radios.
I'm using 1.22 because it's a stable base. Later version doesn't give you much, as graphic drivers are disabled anyway.

Cool. I followed pof's suggested way of dumping the original rom. Now I got all the raw files with correct start addresses. I am wondering whether I did correctly or not for SPL.NB. because the file size is 256 KB since I passed the same length 262114 as read in pof's post. When I used KaiserKitchen to reconstruct, I don't have baseRom and if I ignore that, I am not gettting the NBF file. I want to backup my CHT ROM and install your's (1.22 with GPS and sound). Could you please shed some light?
Thanks
Ram
Hi Cmonex ;
I need the non-touched 1.30 WWE rom for shift ; can you share please ?

Do you have 130 WWE non-touched original rom ? I ve downloaded one from the forum but it is the "telenav"ed orig one , which i can not use at all...
Can you share if you have ?

O2 XDA II, please give me a help.

Sorry, I can not speak English well, I have an O2 XDA II, I wonder what can I install it? I only see programs for the Himalaya, to my not have anything that I can install? I know it's kinda old, but has a reasonable processor, it would not install the WM 6? Thanks for any help.
To tell the truth you can install everything, but remember, it must be intended for Himalaya
80% of all programs made for windows mobile / pocketpc (from pocketpc2000) will run just fine on himalaya
when it comes to roms though you can only use himalaya roms but you can get wm5 wm6 wm6.1 wm6.5 in himalaya flavours
good place to start reading

I have a himalaya and did not know, excellent information on my o2 xda II. My xda II uses Windows Mobile 2003 yet, which the stable WM6.5 ROM, your telling me recommend to install on my XDA II.
His Information:
ROM version: 1.72.00WWE
Radio Version: 1.72.181
Model: PH10B
Simply put, you have to see what he will work with you.
There is a particular rule
I wanted to install a stable version because I do not know if after I get back to old version. If someone can tell me the difference in rom and kitchen, I am grateful. I could install the kitchen of sundream on my xda II? It is the first topic of this session.

bro lukexp, u cannot install the kitchen of sundream. sure the kitchen is intended for cooking the ROM that (perhaps) u need.
of course, u need the ROM to be installed into ur Himalaya. there are fews ROM that u may choose:
C Shekhar's, Ather's, Sundream's, etc for WM 6.1
or
Swampy395's, aeroflyluby's for WM 6.5.
but before u do ur himalaya, please read this

Thank you, I could install your rom, my O2 was beautiful, thank you for help with my difficulties. Until it was not as hard as I was thinking.
Someone already downloaded the windows mobile emulator for PC? You know I say it is easy to use, I would like to test applications on the computer before sending to the phone to avoid virus, because I'm downloading the torrent games and applications.
Bem-vindo ao XDA-Devs meu amigo.
(I am using google....)
PC Virus won't affect your Himalaya(O2 XDAII).
No need using emulator.
I downloaded it some day, but there was no need to use.
Selling anti-virus for pocketpc is easy earned money, as there isn't a real danger of avoiding one!!!
Commonly, testing is OK, but it doesn't show, whether an app is running or not, as selfmade roms differ from each other.
There is no hard viruses on windows mobile, you should don't download warez
There are free alternatives
