TomTom for my Wizard?

Up till last week I had a T-Mobile MDA Compact and I'd got Tomtom (bakonl) running. Now I have a Wizard (T-Mobile from The Netherlands) and I can't install the Tomtom. Appears that WM2005 not compatible with Tomtom Version 5. Anyone got a plan to get arround this? :?:

To install TTN5 on WM5 you have to copy the cab files directly to pda and launch it with the pocket explorer (or resco explorer).

a bit more info to install tomtom and get it working

Thanks for the responses guys. I've given it a go and moved the cab files from the CD to my SD card and installed the GPS cab first. Then soft booted the Vario and then attempted to install the TTN cab.
All per the post :-

However... Still won't install correctly...
Am I doing something wrong?
Any more advice gladly received.
Thanks,

you need te get the tomtom 5.1 files then it works fine. I've got it working on my bleu angel with WM5, and today i installed in on my brother's vario and it worked just fine.

Thanks,
Can I ask... Where did you get the 5.1 files from?

You can download TTN5.1 from the following link
http://www.tomtom.com/updates/ppcupd510.exe

otherwise just use a torrent search engine, you should find it in no time

You need the zip file not the exe. AS4 messes up the installation.

Dear All,
I found this update this week..
http://users.skynet.be/wallpaper/TOMTOM5.1.zip (for more info see http://tomtom3.web-log.nl/log/856067 around - Mondeo :: 20 september 2005 16:18 -).
Note : Download, unzipp... connect your PDA/Phone via Sync cabel/station, setup.exe run. (I have installed it over my (bakonl) 5.0 version.... !!!).
Note 2 : Can ONLY be used if you have a BeNeLux version of bakonl TT5 and only with the BeNeLux map (normal or plus).......
Success with the upgrade.

TomTom with WM6.1 on HTC wizard
Good Morning,
can anybody support me in trying to setup a navigation functionality on my HTC wizard, that runs WindowsMobile 6.1 (those TNT edition)?
Unfortunately i can't find up to date information about which GPS-hardware to use. Is BlooTooth the only reasonable solution for the wizard?
I also plan to feed the tachymeter signal from my bicycle somehow. Has anybody read of approaches to this and can cite or link?
Third thing I'm in search of is an alternative camera software. The "Camera for Pocket PC Version 3.00" does not support geoTagging and not even writing in the Tags for Titling, commenting etc.
Many thanks for your valuable hints in advance.

MS Voice Command with new I-Mate ROM- is it working for you?

I really like having the MS Voice Command app, but I'm having problems installing it and getting it working with the new I-Mate ROM.
Is any one else seeing issues?
Thanks

I was having the same problem. What fixed mine is removing the 1.5 Voice Command update from my desktop only and then trying to reinstall.
If all else fails, try this:
1. Remove Voice Command from both desktop and phone.
2. Install old VC (1.0) to desktop and phone.
3. Remove 1.0 from just the phone and soft reset it.
4. Install 1.5 update to both desktop and phone.
Hopefully that should do it. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

@cliffai Already have a post about this...check link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=241813#241813

A few people seem to be having similar issues with the K-JAM AKU2 ROM. I used the process i have used on the older ROM's and it went fine for me.
1. Begin installation of VC 1.0 on the PC however when the installation on the device asks where you want to install, i pressed cancel.
2. Start setup of VC 1.5 on the PC and also do not let the install continue on the device.
3. Browse to x:\program files\microsoft activesync and locate the voice command 1.5 folder that was created in step 2 and copy the installation cab file to the device and execute using the inbuilt file manager / total commander etc. At this point, the installation should continue fine.
The Microsoft documentation states that the original VC should be installed to the PC (so ActiveSync can see the files) but removed from the device. As it was written for WM2003 etc i thought i would test the install without the original VC having ever been installed to the device and it works great. I really dont like installing non WM5 compatible apps on the K-JAM even if uninstalling straight away so i was way pleased this worked for me.
NOTE: In fact i have since realised that if installing VC 1.5 using the cab file instead of PC ActiveSync setup you do not even need to use the VC 1.0 setup at all as its only the PC ActiveSync setup that looks for the older version.
Chris

I loaded the base 1.5 install on the new SHIPPING version of the Imate Rom - no problems. Went right in without a peep and works fine.

Thanks Guys - going with the direct 1.5 cab method seems the easiest and worked

Ms VC 1.5 is working like a Charm...I use Cabs to instal and then fix to complete the installation...sound quality and clarity is much better I wud say best as compared to XDA2/2s/Uni (WM5 only)

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.
Ben

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

WM2003 > WM6 contacts etc problems ?

WM2003 > WM6 contacts etc problems ?
Hey ,
I just loaded WM6 on my o2 xdaIIs or Blue anger as you say,
now i have several issues in front of me:
1. the backup file ( 2 files individually created on WM 2003) from both " spb and x backup (inbuilt in WM 2003) " won't restore any thing i.e. contacts,Apps, notes anything on my new WM6.
i tried restooring from both the files but to no avail.
any solution how to get my contacts back.
Note: i didn't sync with my PC, so no contacts loading from syncing with pc
2. there's no send via bluetooth option in file explorer.
3. when dialing no.s from keypad of BA, the no functionality won't happen. i.e. only alphabets appear, but in WM2003 no.s did appear.

i guess you haven't really completed the upgrade to wm6. you should do the reset + no/yes/yes + mail button routine.

I already did the same, but the problem is from the beginning, is there any way i can get my contacts from the backup files back ???
and what about the keys issue !!! and bluetooth funda !

the only way is to switch back to wm2003 restore ur backup, sync ur contacts or save them on sim than put wm6 again get ur contact back.

Hi,
now i want to downgrade to WM2003,
but going to the wiki gets me confused, b'coz of the several ROM's there.
now the thing is i have O2 xda IIS, India, and i have the official O2 asia WM2003SE ROM downloaded from the website of O2, that has been made for my Mobile only, but now as i have WM6 and i guess while upgrading to WM6, i deleted the contry code etc...., so now the O2 ROM is not detecting my Mobile,
can anybody help me out here !!!

DO THIS
1. extract the file given below.
2. put the rom file which u hv downloaded from the o2 site (file=nk.nba) in the same folder where above files were extracted.
3. put ur pda in boot loader by holding Pwr+camera+rec+reset.
4. screen shows bootloader serial.
5. run maupgradeutilitynoid.exe (it will skip country id)
6. do a update by clicking next next and so on

I have something like this pb on my Qtek 9090. But i think after upgrade the contacts database is crashed cause any CM application terminates immediately after being launched:
NullReferenceException.
at
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.PoomStore.Di spoze()
at
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.PoomStore.Fi nalize()
ActiveSync refuses to synchronize contacts giving error 8007000E.

3 Coloured Bars on Reset Starting Upgrade.

Hi,
Background:
I've been having a real issue upgrading my 750. First off none of the standard ROM desktop installers work. They all complain about it not being able to upgrade the language. I did some digging and found out I have a VFN version of WM5. That doesn't match any of the existing ones that I can see. It was originally a Vodafone UK 750, but I'm in Australia and need to upgrade. The Vodafone ones are VFE. WTF? Where does the VFN one come from?
Current Issue:
Ok I got the generic ROM, and I was following the instructions from the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Cheetah_WM6 page.
Note about the page, it says to rename the .nbh file to CHEEIMG.nbh, but there are 2 or sometimes 3 .nbh files in every desktop installer image. I presume they mean the big one that is normally named CHEEIMG_FW.NBH.
Anyway, got the image on the mini-SD card. (yes FAT32 formatted)
Try to enter Bootloader (media button and reset button)
Now the thing just sits there 3 bars (Red, Green, Blue), and it says 'Serial' at the bottom. It never prompts to start the upgrade. It's as if it's waiting for a Serial connection rather than checking the SD card.
What can I do to get it to check the SD card?

you have to hold down the media button till the screen turns grey after pushing the reset button.

Of course
Yes i did this. This is what I get AFTER the screen has gone grey and come back on.

you have to continu holding it even after the 3 color screen appears

ok...
forgive my ignorance...but for how long? It's been 5 minutes and my thumb is tired....

it needs to be CHEEIMG.NBH and put on the root of the minisd card

Yup I checked that. That is what it is called, and in all caps....same result.
Keep the idea coming. ;-)

Try this procedure, maybe can work: http://discussion.wmexperts.com/showthread.php?t=156093
Substitude CNG by VFN

Still doesn't work
Thank you for pointing me at that procedure. It appeared promising. However, the installer program doesn't ever work because it reads the existing ROM and says "This update is intended to update Palm Treo 750 smartphones to the latest software. It is not intended to update the device language or other devices."
I need to scrub the screwed up version/carrier info from the existing ROM so this one will update it...any hints on that?

Sounds like you have screwed the bootloader.
You will need to run the recovery program to bring it back to default.
