Database Develop

SX66 EXT ROM Standardization Project

Hi, I've opened this thread to correspond if a new development project that has started on WIKI. The concept behind this project is to support users of the SX66 (PH20B1) available in the US. There is a good community of folks using this model, and a users group seems to be forming. Giving that this community has varied levels of the technical skills, this idea came to me as a way of further increasing the growth of the BA adoption in the US, while reducing the need of me helping folks one at a time. But I must give credit where credit is due, the knowledge I bring to this project was all gained from the hard work and dedication of users here. Work that I would be lost without.
I have posted a Beta I trial for a 1.40.121 (cooked for the SX66 WWE Cingular) EXT ROM, and have invited select users to assist in the testing. This space will be used for feedback.
Update 5/12/05 - I've posted a Beta 2 release: Check out the Dev page at the link below for deatils:

Thank you for your effort, Chris. add me too.
Do you recommend upgrading to Windows Mobile 2005? I have downloaded the SW and wanna check first.
thx

where do you download this? or are you just sending it to people?

My friend, I will post the links to the forum now.

I am not responsible if you system has any problem because of this upgrade.

the bluetooth does not work on Beta2-S1.40.00-R1.12.00.E1.40.122
I can't pair my headset

KS, even after a soft reset? I've got 1.40.122 running without incident, but the BT files haven't changed, so it should not be an issue.. It is built on the 3900 stack included in the 1.40.00 system ROM, with only an add on to put the stereo headset in.
What headset are you using?
-Chris

Here is the link to the DEV page, which includes a link to the current kit:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Wiki_Dev_Test5
Let me also point out, as I think it may be confused in some of the earlier posts. This is an EXT ROM for System ROM 1.40.00, which is Windows Mobile 2003 SE, not 2005.
-Chris

thanks Chris. this is nice, had been wanting to upgrade my sx66 but was just too lost to cook my own ...
the cabs included sounds good and i'm going to try it tonite!
feedback once its done. thanks once again.

AlmondKing,
Looking at your flag, and provider logo, I just wanted to point out that the files contain customizations for Cingular as they are required in the US. Hope that is not a problem.
Everyone,
Found my first bug. There is a problem in the version cab. I got creative, and tried the set the version to 1.40.122 (Cooked).... Well, the getdevicedata doesn't seem to like that. It doesn't seem to create a problem when flashing, but it records the EXT rom version as blank when reflashing. I've updated the version CAB, and will have it in beta 3.

Chris,
I did upgrade without problems and everything is working fine so far.
I will report

Jerry, I believe the files you are trying to delete are the one that are part of the System ROM, and can't be deleted. This is why you are getting the in use error.

NEEDED: Handbook for Upgrading with Needed Attachments

Ok, I've spent the entire day sifting through thread after thread of posts, and I am now throughly frustrated . Can someone put together the definitive authority of upgrading all of the various components of the Wizard? I find threads about ROMS, and Extended Roms, and Unlocking, but nothing in one place and very few actual files. I know it may be excessive, but when I upgraded my Wallaby to WM2003SE, it seemed so simple. With $600 invested in my new QTEK 9100 (and no provider to send it back to in case it locks up completely), I'd like a little hand holding through the process.
If someone could spend the time (which I would even contribute to financially) to explain, step by step, how to do the following in one topic, I would be in Wizard heaven: :lol:
Take a Qtek 9100, ROM Version 1.1.7.5, ROM Date: 9/22/05, Radio Version 01.01.10, Protocol Version: 4.0.13.16, ExtROM Version: 1.1.7.105 and:
(1) upddate each of those items;
(2) upload/link the necessary files/programs to accomplish this
(3) provide opinions of the various ROMs/ExtROMs; and
(4) list of tweaks and explaination of how to do them, as well as any programs needed to accomplish this.
I really would appreciate this, and speaking for those out there who get as equally lost/frustrated/scared/confused about doing this, I know others would as well.
TIA for anyone willing to take this task on! I hope for a speedy response as I would like to start personalizing this phone but don't want to have to do it again a week from now.

and there are the romz
and like every one else you have to try
if at first you dont succeed try try again
on the topic how to update the rom is an abundance of info on this site
dont be lazy find out yourself you will learn more every day
if you think a rom is dificult
try to instal tomtom and get the bluetooth gps mouse to work prop. thats the real challenge

Lists tweaks, but I could not find a "handbook" so to speak at this site. . . I need the meat of it.

trust me, I have not been lazy (my boss would have a cow if they knew how I wasted my day). I can't seem to access the FTP site. Do I need to have any special clearance?

http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1110642//
the only problem for you i think
ITS IN DUTCH

LOOK FOR THIS TEXT "De verschillende ROMs kun je hier vinden."
AND CLICK ON "hier" there you have the link to the ftp site

manual

Thanks Raylax!!
I also spent more time looking at the thread that has aWizard which was helpful and the FTP finally let me on. Is there a reason to install either the new radio or rom first?

Stuff needed for touch-friendly phone.

Okay, so I just thought to myself.. How about a thread displaying what people really want in order to get a touch-friendly phone. So I'll begin by suggesting a few (and please correct me if you find newer versions available for the software I mention).
So here goes:
Slide2Unlock - there are two versions, one for newer phones and one for those who are having problems with that one:
new version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314703
other version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343256
PocketCM, PCMKeyboard and PCMCalendar:
All found at: http://www.pocketcm.com
Note: PCMCalendar is still in a sort-of testing phase, so keep checking back. It is already quite nice though.
If you know of any other pieces of software that's neat to have on phones that are touch-friendly, please post it here along with a link.

Don't hate me....

OK, I have spent the last hour perusing various threads here trying to determine how to flash a new ROM. I know basic questions liek this are discouraged as people feel "the answers are out there". But, there are dozens (if not hundreds) of posts, all with confusing/contradictory information. I've learned enough to believe I understand the hard/soft SPL issues, but still have alot of questions.
Primary question: Is there a single place which is kept updated with a set of clear steps to update the ROM, including SPL, radio, ROM, and whatever else may be needed? Ideally this would be the most robust/reliable version of these things currently available.
Secondary questions are:
1. If I install a new ROM will I need to re-install of the current programs running on the phone (like SPB pocket plus, Garmin, HTC audio manager, etc)?
2. Should the ROM be flashed before the SPL, after, or it doesn't matter? (Seems llike the HardSPL would be needed first).
3. Is there a place to get the most recent/tested/reliable versions of the SPL, the ROM, and the Radio?
4. Is there a place to decribe the differences between the items in #3 above, and to make recommendations as to whcih to choose? (I simply need a reliable version which runs WM 6.1, and ideally which would allow configuration of the controls on the side of the Tilt - or even just disable all of them.)
Thanks.

1) yes
2) spl first, one time only.
3) Kaiser Rom section
4) I used q-mobile 1.2 b/c nothing was as fast and stable (mostly fast) as that wm 6 rom. If you have time, it is always best to experiment and find out which is best for you.

OK, a few more hours down the road -- I flashed the HardSPL (Kaiser-HardSPLv1.zip) with no problems. I found DUtty's Diamond ROM RUU Signed and have that ready to flash, but first ---- will this be OK on the Tilt? Will I need to fix the keyboard afterwards?

come on man, if you can't find these answers on this site, you might not be ready to flash roms.. there are literally 100s of posts and 95% of the time any question you have has already been answered, especially when you know the name of a program is "tilt keyboard fix" that you will need it to "fix your tilt keyboard"... and naming you thread "don't hate me" pretty much eliminates any future help this thread will be unless for some reason another noob searches for the word "don't" or "hate"... Don't be afraid to ask questions if you see that it's something that hasn't already been answered.

I'm obviously not ready to flash ROM's -- that is why I ask these questions - to get ready.
The fact that there are hundreds of posts is the problem.
If there is a post that answers my specific question, please point me to it:
"If I use the Duffy Diamond ROM, will I need to use the Tilt Keyboard fix"?
P.S. Spending your time to not answer the question is kindof a waste, right? If you don't want to answer, go do something more productive.

nope, it is a continuing effort to discourage people from starting redundant threads, very productive.

** This is NOT intended as a flame **
Look, here's the deal... Everybody understands that there are hundreds of dead-end/useless threads that exist in the Kaiser sections (thousands when you count the rest of the site).
The unfortunate fact of the matter is that until junior members learn to start searching for the answer to their question before creating new threads, the search function built-in to the site will continue to be polluted with conflicting information.
This site is not designed for people who are not willing to do any work for themselves. You do NOT appear to be one of these people since you have done some reading.
So in closing,
Read the Kaiser Wiki, read the "**BEFORE YOU POST START HERE** FAQ, Wiki, Stickies & Tutorials - Suggestions Welcome!" thread, and most importantly, once you are ready to flash your first ROM, read the entire thread for the ROM before downloading and flashing.
That last part can be daunting for Dutty's ROMs since they are arguably the most popular on the site, but it is a necessity.

Thanks to those with useful answers, I was able to get everything working.
To Dutty, I need to apologize as my older eyes interpreted the screen as Duffy. I have learned now, and I appreciate your work in providing the ROM's.
Believe me, I spent alot of time (all day today actually) reading through stuff. The simple fact is there is too much stuff, it is too scattered, and there are several possible starting points.
For future reference, the best single reference point (for me anyway) was:

【help】What's wrong with my dialogue box

I cooked my rom with Da_G's resource in Chinese, the rom seems to be good except that there is always underline before the Chinese character on the dialogue box. please refer to the pics below.
Did anyone meet with this problem before? How to solve this issue?
Thanks.

I can't help you, but my approach would have been to search/ask either in Da_G's thread and (in case nothing turned up there) in the new Chef Central, I think that would have increased your chances on finding a solution much more than opening a thread here
on 2nd thought: maybe jackleung might know something, I think he's the only one doing Chinese support in his X1 roms
