Wm 6.1 roms - Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading

Ok I have read this site several times and have flashed my phone numerous times and I can say there are some damn good ROM's located on this site..However there are flaws to each one and that is why i am writing this..I do appreciate all of the hard work that goes into these roms for if you guys didnt do them then we would be stuck with the same ol tired looking phones..
For those of you that are new to this please pay attention to the posts for i have learned the hard way..I would like to know how to fix some of the errors that are in these roms because like I said befor each one is different..so far the one that i have found to be the best for most users is OTP v7.5.1 TouchFlo 2D Professional...this Rom seems to have it all together except one thing..the call volume is low and the ringtone volume is also low..besides that this is your winner in my eyes for a power user..
If anyone out there knows how to fix these errors please let me know for I am staying with this ROM until I find a better one...thank you for your time and I will be donating to the rightful developer...

here is a posting that will give some info and hopefully answer alot of your current questions..
Default FAQ
FAQ Section:
Read everything in this section before downloading the roms and flashing.
If you don't understand it, read it again and again until you understand.
Once your done flashing your device double check back here again to configure your device.
I will not reply to any subjects already covered in this section.
I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just very busy with finishing up this project and also working on other projects.
Back up your phone before downloading and flashing this rom... I do not want anybody to loose their data due to flashing this rom, as the rom will erase all of your data...
How To Flash Rom

II. How do I flash an NBH file?
a. USPL
Step 1. Download Herald-USPL-Beta3. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A4N36HLO
Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake. Notice that there is a folder called RUU within this folder now. Keep that in mind.
Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.
Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.
Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe
Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.
* Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
* ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.
Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.
That's it. Welcome to the flasher's world.

==========================
M2DC
Just tried the M2DC theme manager on 7.3 Std, with a renamed .zip file to .m2dct file (specifically the KnobiSkin from the M2D skin thread).
First time, it locked up. M2DC continued with spinning icon until I forced a reboot. Touchflo was off after reboot, and after enabling it everything appeared to be the same.
Second attempt, I disabled Touchflo from today before applying the new theme. Got the "Applying Theme" prompt. After M2DC closed, I reactivated touchflow and new theme was applied.
Simple instruction for use of M2DC Themes on OTP 7.3:
Find a skin you like, download the zip file (not the cab),
Rename file to .m2dct,
Copy new file to the themes directory of the M2DC install directory,
Disable touchflo in Today settings
Start M2DC,
Go to themes tab (the first time it will back up the default theme),
Click the new theme then apply,
Restart touchflo.
Alternate for creating themes from skin CABs:
Run M2DC first, let it make the DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct file, Close M2DC.
Run the CAB skin of choice.
Rename DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct to OriginalTheme.m2dct (or anything else with same extension).
Rerun M2DC. It will detect no DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct and will ask to back up again. Let it make new backup. Close M2DC.
Rename new file to the name of the new theme.
Repeat for each skin CAB you wish to convert to m2dc theme file.
Note: The M2DCT files can be large (over 3Mb, 660 files backed up). Best to do this only if M2DC is installed on a large Storage card.
Note 2: Several times M2DC appeared to freeze when applying or backing up themes. It looks like it has problems if touchflo is not off prior to running. It does try to deactivate touchFlo then reactivate when done, but it doesn't appear to work flawlessly yet. It is better to deactivate the Today plugin before running M2DC on this ROM build.

Another test: Wizard ROM ported to BA

Edited 26 jan 2006
I've uploaded a second test version of HTC Wizard's rom port to ftp://[email protected]/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/wizard2ba_v2a_test.rar
(this is a v2 rom with a fixed camera)
USE THIS ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
This version is a complete Wizard's ROM including:
1. Working MMS client
2. Midi/mp3 ringtone support
3. DirectX mobile/Direct3D mobile (xscale-optimized 3D driver)
4. Built-in cyberon voice-dial
5. Wizard's battery indicator, device lock on today
6. Some cosmetic changes
7. 32 Mb RAM disk
8. Bug fixes from the previous version (for example now you can add picture to contact).
There is no need to install any of the old CAB-files with fixes on this ROM. All needed fixes are included in "EXTROM" folder.
The "EXTROM" folder has changed from the previous ROM version. You need to do a hard reset before using this ROM!
Known problems:
1. Bluetooth disconnect bug is still there. I have an idea, but would check it later.
2. The device cannot be used as an IR/USB modem. This can be fixed, but I don't have enough time.
3. It seems that midlet manager is not working. Probably this is a bug in original wizard's ROM.
Installation instructions:
1. Modify the operator as needed and if needed:
xda3nbftool.exe nk.nbf nk.nba -x 0x20040521
...read wiki...
xda3nbftool.exe nk.nba nk.nbf -x 0x20040521
2. Create "EXTROM" foder on your storage card, copy there the contents of EXTROM
folder from this archive. The full name of this directory on your device should
be "\Storage Card\EXTROM".
2. Flush the ROM
3. Make the hard reset (press camera+record+reset buttons, select "format storage")
4. Boot. During the first boot the CAB-files from "EXTROM" folder would be
installed. They are unsigned, so you should press "yes" when asked, and
install them to the default folder. This process would be silent on newer
builds of this ROM.
Note for modifying the EXTROM folder:
All CAB-files should have read-only attribute set. Otherwise they would be deleted after installation. This would be fixed in the future releases. And
Config.txt is renamed to Cfg.txt.
CAB files:
Missing-Files.CAB - must be always installed. Wizard's ROM is larger than ours, so several files had to be removed and placed to this CAB.
Default_CAB-shortcut-CDL-08Sep05.CAB
Default_cdl_wwe_version.cab
Default_ie_view.sa.cab
Default_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB - these 4 are from original Wizard's ROM.
Camera2K5.cab - camera app and drivers
Note regarding "RAM Disk32". I recommend to move temporary internet files and install unnecessary apps there. Its contents would survive soft reset, but would be cleaned if the battery is removed. The RAM Disk driver is taken from www.buzzdev.net
Okay, so I got the ROM even before you posted this topic (after an hour you've uploaded it...yes, i do check the WM5_test folder on a regular basis, hehe) First impressions is that this ROM is fast, really fast, even faster than the Hima2BA port... I can't really call WM5 "slow" anymore now, it works very well. Gonna test it a bit more later today. And THANK YOU, as usual
Just turned on cleartype and the fonts looks a bit...I don't know...weird. I'm not saying that it is worse than in the older ROMs, it just looks different somehow. Or it's just me. Edit: yes, they *do* look different. I'd say they are nicer though...
install Camera2k5_1 ,it is owrking for camera , this rom fast than others, Pocker msn can't login " sorry, We are unable to sign you in to this service because we could not detect a valid server certificate. this can occur if the date on your device is different from today date.please check the date on your device and change it if necessary.
also missing phone icon at person settingn't set ringtone
hi mwang,can you tell me where can download Camera2k5_1 ,thanks
Mamaich, what can i say, outstanding, as usual...Testing now
great man...
picture and video application isn't working though :?
working awesome, does anyone know how can i install BT Tray?
thanks mamaich
In Phone, Options doesn't work, smartdialing doesn't work...
2. "ok" hardware button is mapped to "record" and this cannot be changed. Would investigate this.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Strange. In my device it's mapped to the OK button as in 2003..
Bugs that I found:
1. MSN Messenger does not work
2. Phone Option does not work
3. Unable to assign picture from contacts
4. MP3 ringtone does not work
5. Voice Command BT Headset Dial (by renaming voicecmd.exe to sddialer.exe) does not work
MP3 ringtones work for me
Phone, Options isn't there. comfirm.
Hope to have a fix for that soon.
This ROM is a bit faster, but still no match for wm2003se speed..
Another problem is that I don't seem to be able to connect to the internet using AS, is it just me?
Guess it's back to 2003 for now..

I'm back to 2003SE too, currently doing restore. Guess have got to wait for some patches. I must say the speed of this is better then any other WM5 version.

I'll put together quickly a WiKi article with solution to the missing phone settings and such..stay tuned.
WiKi article with solutions and general info here (and also in my signature)
There are no notifications of current internet connection, i mean wifi bluetooth or gprs in the titlebar (like those in himalaya ported WM5)
There is still error when you press album icon in camera app, which can be fixed with installing album
The hardware button OK is mapped correctly , it works fine here
The record button is mapped as Voice Speed dial (the record app is there but doesnot work)
How can i get the tray icons of bluetooth and wifi ?
I like the new battery tray icon
Port to SX66
Great work Mamaich.
Installation was very smooth. The WIki solution to the missing phone icon was a big help. I prefer this version over the orginal WM5 or the himalaya version. I like the EXTROM installation. Not having a camera installed is a big help to SX66 owners, we don't have to deal with the sound issues. Finally got a midi ringtone to work with the wizard version, prior versions I had to convert the Midi to MP3. I have had it lock up on me a few times, but haven't figured out the cause yet.
Thanks again.

Strange (null) In Kaiser HTC Homeplug

Hi all
I installed the HTC Home plug Based on the Kaiser one. With the Weather Patch
But now I have a strange problem. In the Weather Tab it says (null) instead of High or Low.
Same go's for the Ringtone.
Well the problem is: When I reload the Plug it works. But when I reboot my device it show op (Null) again until I reload the Plugin.
Does anyone know this problem???
Thanks in advance.
Same problem, haven't found a real fix yet but I got a workaround you can try.
After every reset of the device follow these steps.
- Disable HTC Home from the today screen.
- Open HTC Home Customizer
- Change some minor detail (usually selected weather city for me)
- Save
- Go back to today screen and HTC home is there with all language files working magically.
It's a bit of a pain in the ass but I haven't found a better solution just yet. Hopefully someone else can answer this for us but in the meantime you can use my cheap method to make it look right.
You have to rename:
windows\HTCHome.dll.0409.mui
windows\HTC_HDlg.exe.0409.mui
windows\HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml
to your locale variable (if your rom isn't wwe), in my case it's spanish (0C0A):
windows\HTCHome.dll.0C0A.mui
windows\HTC_HDlg.exe.0C0A.mui
windows\HH_0C0A_WeatherCities.xml
It worked for me.
There's another way to do it, harder but way better, i usually do this with my own cabs because after a hard reset i don't like having to change everything again. Steps:
1- Decompress the cab with winrar
2- Edit the file "setup.xml" and correct things you want to change about installation setup: name of files to install (like in this case), name of registry variables to write (like in 10-button commanager for wing), etc
3- Find and download "Cabpack 1.4", be sure to use the following options for it to work: "compression type = mszip", "Create cabinets for = 16 bit extractor"
4- Use it for re-compressing your modified cab and install.
5- Voilá... great pre-modified cabs that you can keep for the next hard-reset.
Hope you like it. Regards

Ok but you are right...I dont want to do all that again after Hard Reset. So im going to try make a Modifi on this Cab.. Thanks again
Hello and thanks for this help !
But it doesn't work for me. Maybe you can help me ?
I have the same problem with "null:null"
But the files are already named with my locale variable. (I'm not sure)
windows\HTCHome.dll.040C.mui
windows\HTC_HDlg.exe.040C.mui
windows\HH_040C_WeatherCities.xml
The language of my Windows Mobile 6 is in french. But i want to display weather of "Lausanne" in Switzerland (100C)
You say : if your rom isn't wwe --> How can i see if my rom is wwe ?
Thanks a lot for your answers

4. Configure FTouchFlo or FTouchSL to open the file 'SCLPC++.exe' for the
Down-Up Guesture.
((((( Now to configure FTouchFlo ****I really don't Know if you need it for FTouchSL****you HAVE to INSTALL the Configuration Tool (FTouchFloConfig_v0.9))))))))))))
5. In this example the path is '/Application Data/SCLPC++/SCLPC++.exe'
6. After You Install the Configuration Tool do a SOFT RESET AGAIN
8. Swipe your finger from the bottom to the top of screen to start cube.
9. IFFFFF YOU HAVE NO RESPONSE DO ANOTHER SOFT RESET.

Then go to the following link where MaxMotus created a theme for the CUBE, I didn't installit yet but I'm in that process, I've installed first his Other themes for other Aplications. So far his Set ups are the best NON SLOW ones.
Also make sure to see his other posts.

Please no flaming as I am sure tons of noobs will be drawn to this thread. All I ask is if you cant read the first page then leave, because you know people are going to flame you no matter what.

PURESKILLZZZ thanks for the reply.
its just the first post leads me to an open touch release and the part thats relevant isnt very clear(about mms setup).as far as deleting arcsoft from the registry gos.
the second is very helpful but the fact that im uncomfortable deleting registry values that aren't specicific cancels it out.
any help and the diligent yet apprehensive reader of this great forum that gets made fun of by his wife for staring at the screen to read so much usefull info would be greatly appreciated!

The MMS walk through for non-working MMS. ( Originally by ndiguy5 )
1.) Remove MMS from the registry.

You can just normally post. I saved many spots in the beginning of this thread so it wont be a big mess.
Also as it grows I will always put the post numbers next to a particular application or fix so when people read they can get all info from the first page so you don't have to read the whole thread to solve an already solved problem or read about an application.

My Setttings -> Device Information -> shows ROM version as 4.17.405.2 WWE
what should I be entering?
Previously, when my device was a boxed-product it used to display the IPL, SPL on booting up, but after upgrading using the help found here, it only shows me the htc screen and I can only check the IPL/SPL if I go to the boot loader mode. The htcrom tool shows some options on the right side. Would entering the values there provide the values for IPL/SPL on booting?
How do I select the PrimarySplash.nb file? There is no selection box available. N checkin again, I see that nothing can be edited in the boxes on the right.
EDIT: Didn't realize that those were buttons next to the text boxes, so the 3rd question is answered. The first 2 remain...

CDMA Shift Phone

I am posting this info because I need some assistance in getting it to work perfectly I was hoping some of you out there may have some additional insight! thank you
Known Bugs/Issues
1. Incoming Call are directed direct to Voice mail

3. headset is default off you must first enable speaker then plug in headset
4. if any sound is activated while on a call Headset, Speaker, Mic are automaticly Disabled
HTC SHIFT FULL PHONE
I don't think it is currently need but I have also inclued the hardsspl for CDMA
Be careful with the RealVGA bit if you haven't got an English machine - I have so I couldn't test this bit - I inferred the solution from one of Daniel's posts.
1. Reset SnapVue if you have been hacking it.
- Run Clearstorage.exe (or Settings, Clear Storage)
- Disable Wi-Fi in Vista (Communication Manager)
- Enable Modem
2. Get Access to WM6
- In SnapVue, click Outlook E-mail
- Click Menu,New
- Click Menu,New,Insert Picture
- Where it says "My Pictures", click and navigate to "Windows" directory
- Highlight (using arrow keys) the "Start Menu" directory and copy it (using ctrl-c)
- Navigate into "Settings" directory in "Windows" and paste (ctrl-v). Ignore the calendar error.
- Click Ok and go back to SnapVue.
- Click Settings button and then "Start Menu, Programs, Internet Sharing"
- Click "Connect". The screen will say "Check USB cable.". Switch over to Vista and make sure that you have a network connection.
- Switch back to snapvue and click disconnect.
- Switch back to Vista and open Windows Explorer. From the "Computer" level, keep pressing F5 until you see Pocket_PC.
- Using "Tools, Folder Options" (alt T,O), click on the View tab and make sure that "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" is NOT enabled.
- Copy "RegistryEditor.exe" to "Pocket_PC,"\" directory.
- Still on Vista side, Using "Communication Manager", Click "Advanced Settings" and then "Reset Snapvue". Click OK.
- Switch to snapvue and wait for it to start up. If you miss the warning to allow running "RegistryEditor.exe", don't worry - click setting, Start Menu, Programs, File Explorer, then navigate to Windows, StartUp and run it from there.
- In RegistryEditor.exe, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Services. Delete the "SnapVue" entry. Click and hold the "SnapVue" entry until the context-sensitive menu appears, then select delete.
- Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Cabfile\Shell\Open\command and change the default value to wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete - there is a space after the .exe and before the /nodelete here
- Close RegistryEditor.exe.
- In File Explorer, delete the PKG.exe and BlockTitleBar.exe files from the Windows\StartUp directory.
- Switch back to Vista and reset snapvue from Communications Manager's Advanced Settings.
- Switch back to SnapVue. When it has finished starting up and you have closed RegistryEditor, you will notice that you have the start menu at the top left of the screen.
- Tidy up - reset and delete "Start Menu" from the "Windows, Settings" directory
Pat yourself on the back! You have successfully converted the HTC shift's SnapVue to WM6.
2a. Enable all the hidden "Today" items
- Switch to WM6
- Click "Start Menu (icon at top left of screen), Programs, Internet Sharing"
- Click "Connect". The screen will say "Check USB cable.". Switch over to Vista and make sure that you have a network connection.
If not - go to Vista Connection Manager and stop and start the modem.
- go back to snapview disconnect and then connect again
- switch back to Vista
- Switch back to snapvue and click disconnect.
- Switch back to Vista and open Windows Explorer. From the "Computer" level, keep pressing F5 until you see Pocket_PC.
- In Vista, install and run ceregedit_setup.exe
- Press F1 to connect to WM6
- Use Tools, Unlock Registry to enable the import
- Use Edit, Import to import "today.reg". Ignore any errors.
- Close ceregedit
- Switch to WM6
- In "Start Menu, Settings, Today, Items", pick the today items you want to display.
3. Change the display resolution to 96 dpi (BE SURE THAT THE CHECK BOX FOR DISABLE PHONE SKIN IS CHECKED)
A word of warning - this version of RealVGA is English and does not work very well with non-English systems.
- If you have a non-English version of the Shift, then you will not have a directory called \Windows\StartUp. Before doing the rest of this section, you should create a "StartUp" directory in your Windows directory and copy all of the files from your language equivalent of StartUp.
- Switch to WM6
- Click "Start Menu (icon at top left of screen), Programs, Internet Sharing"
- Click "Connect". The screen will say "Check USB cable.". Switch over to Vista and make sure that you have a network connection.
If not - go to Vista Connection Manager and stop and start the modem.
- go back to snapview disconnect and then connect again
- switch back to Vista
- Switch back to snapvue and click disconnect.
- Switch back to Vista and open Windows Explorer. From the "Computer" level, keep pressing F5 until you see Pocket_PC.
- Copy "RealVGA_11.CAB" and "ResPack96dpi.ARM.CAB" to "Pocket_PC,"\" directory.
- Switch over to WM6
- From File Explorer (Start Menu, Programs, File Explorer), navigate to the top directory (using Up button as necessary)
- Install RealVGA_11.CAB accepting the security warning
- Install ResPack96dpi.ARM.CAB accepting the security warning and select ok to restart the system
- Run RealVGA from Start Menu, Programs
- Change to 96dpi and press OK and wait while the system restarts
- Tidy up - Using "Start Menu, Settings, System, Remove Programs" remove WM6_RealVGA (its job is done)
- In File Explorer, delete the 2 CAB files.

Trashed Snapvue
I ran the CustomRuu from the zip file you posted, and managed to get into a loop where Windows Mobile will not boot. I can get into the bootloader with tools I downloaded on XDA, but have not found a ROM that will install without an error. Do you have a CDMA compatible ROM or even the original ROM that comes with the device. Will dive into the box to see whats on the disks next.
Need help though.
the orginal rom should be included in the zip folder
ShiftCDMAFLASH is the folder that I flashed (successfully) that left me in bootloader (three color screen).
RUUNBh is in the upper middle of the screen
CLI 0200
SPL 0.14.000
appear below, and USB in a white box appears below that.
The ShiftCDMAFLASH.zip file contains a different nbh rom file from the folder above, but I cannot get past 0% on the loader screen. I have used ecshift.exe -bl to get back in bootloader mode and hard resetted the Windows mobiel side, but no luck yet. Any suggestions ? +
just give it time
The 0.19 nbh file give a 262 error
On the other hand I can flash the 1.14.651.1 Rom with no trouble but I reboot (even after a hard reset) into the tri color screen with USB on the screen as listed above. Stalled in this mode.
Any other options ? or roms that might work. The GSM roms on XDA also crash out so I am locked in the 1.14.651.1 bootloader mode.....grrrr.
Is there another option I am missing ? I also tried the Snapvue reset program for Vista from the HTC website
Snapvue Software version 1.14.651.1
Snapvue Software version 1.14.651.1 is the one that I installed on my CDMA shift and now cannot get out of bootloader screen (tricolor) despite hard resetting the WM side. I am able to reflash the above listed rom with no errors. But still end up in the bootloader screen.
No other posted rom on XDA will load (probably due to GSM/CDMA differences). Do you have an alternative CDMA rom I could use or is there a way to get out of the bootloader and force WM to load that I am missing ?
use mtty should be posted on site
Used mtty
Thanks. I had been usimg mtty. I can successfully hard reset but WM boots back into the tri color bootloader screen following hard reset. lol. Still stuck. Thanks for the suggestion though.
now do ecshift mode 0 then mode reset

Thanks, I have been doing all of the above. Restarts into the tricolor screen. I can reformat with the rom you provided. Still tricolor on hard reset. Something in the rom is preventing wm from loading. Anything else left to do ?
I am probably going to need to give up. The snapvue side is toast. Unless there is someone with the original CDMA Rom out there willing to post online (even HTC) I do not think I can make this work.
Original CDMA ROM
Hello, I had exactly the same problem, my SnapVue stood in bootloader...
CMONEX gave me a ROM for CDMA Shift (I think is the original), it worked for me
you can download it from here:
http://srmpro.gas.pemex.com/video/R....30.00_1.33_PRL60711_SHIP_MO_Disable_PPST.exe
this link wont be available forever, if you can download and upload it to a site like megaupload it will be great!
hope this helps

I hope CMONEX is okay with that.
Was able to get Snapvue up and running with the exe file listed above. Did not need to do anything else. Thanks for posting. Will need to be more careful when testing new roms.

Excelent!
you are right, but that kind o things is part of the learning process
Thanks again for all the help.
Also managed to fix the Font sizes in Snapue via registry edits so that they increase in proportion to the scaled screen resolution with RealVGA. Until I figure out how to HardSPL the CDMA Shift and cook a custom rom, this will have to do.
