Which WM6 has phone support ?

Hi,
I have the SPV M1000 (Himalaya), and phone used to work, then died. Texting worked, but phone didn't. So i used the Orange supported software, but it downgraded it to Win Mobile 2003. Although the phone did work, i prefer WM6 for the rotate screen feature etc.
Anyway, i downloaded a few WM6 roms, but of the 3 i tried, none of them allowed me to use the phone bit of the M1000.
Which WM6 rom should i download to get the phone working okay with my Himalaya ?
I tried C_ShekharAKU7.0c.R40.P24_public, also himalaya_6_1_0_0 file, but i cannot get the phone to work.
Regards,
Andy

I would suggest that either something is wrong with the phone section, or someone has made a mistake when upgrading the radio section of the phone.
The radio upgrade is a seperate upgrade to the ROM. All Windows Mobile roms should have phone support automatically, it is just a matter of getting the right radio working for you.
I am at work and as such I can not provide you any more detail, needlesss to say, use the search function in the top right hand corner of this website, and search in the Himalaya section for radio upgrade.
Cheers

Cheers Jadel, will give that a go now !

Hello,
I'm now getting a strange error ! - i downloaded "C_ShekharWM6.1.1cR16.P32_public", but when i try to install i get a "country code" error ! - "ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR N-4-1-N-N".
What does this mean ?
Regards,
Andy

Use HimalayaUpgrade_NoID instead...........!

If you go to the Himalaya Upgrading section, you would have noticed this is the third link from the top "Fix and prevent ROM Upgrading/Downgrading Country ID Errors"
Here is the link, read it all and don't skip ahead, Rom upgrades can brick a device if not done properly.

Many thanks, i'll try that !

Just tried the "himalaya 6_1_0_0" upgrade. Installed okay. But when on main desktop screen i'm getting errors, couldn't open these files : "Screenrotate.exe", "btdwake.exe" and "Phoneservice.exe".
Other than that it works !
Help please.

htc tytn ii wm 6.1 update

Hi all,
I am new to these devices and have purchased a htc tytn ii is is an australian model and i live and will use it in australia. I do not know if the device requires the update, can you please inform as to how i can check.
Trouble is i have been reading up on this pda phone alot and realised that an update from wm6.0 to wm6.1 is available.
I have downloaded this file:
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship
If it's not too much trouble someone please inform me as to what i specifically need and what i specifically need to do to update from wm6.0 to wm6.1. I realise the importance of this process but i do not understand the language being used on the forum. A step by step guide will be much appreciated.
Also a list of required software and locations to these would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Have you looked through the Wiki?

Yes i have and i couldn't make heads or tails of it. I just need a list of instructions.

While we are talking about Australian models anyone know what the difference between these 2 roms is
I know they both have Australian operator settings
RUU_Kaiser_HTCASIA_AUS_3.29.710.1_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe
RUU_Kaiser_HTCASIA_WWE_3.29.707.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe

So all i have to do is run the file i have downloaded. I don't need a radio or SPL?
Also is the file i have downloaded the correct file? or should i get one of these:
RUU_Kaiser_HTCASIA_AUS_3.29.710.1_radio_sign_25.83 .40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe
RUU_Kaiser_HTCASIA_WWE_3.29.707.0_radio_sign_25.83 .40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe
Thanks.

Yes
If you have the original rom came with the pocket pc there is no need for SPL just connect your phone to pc with the usb cable and run the downloaded file.

Cool, what about those other 2 ROMS i mentioned?

one is for Ausies only and the other one is for everyone .. That is all

is there any difference between the two

well i finally got activesync working.
i started the ROM update with the below file:
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship
and all went well got to the tricolour screen and got a error message on the computer screen:
ERROR[294] : INVALID VENDOR ID
is there a way around this?

Yes. Hard SPL follow the instructions in the link to the letter.
PSi

no worries. got it up and running.

I bought the TYTN II yesterday and registered on the HTC website. The 6.1 upgrade is not there anymore.
Someone else have an alternate link or is it being taken off for another update for the bugs??

If anyone know the link for the update, I would like to upgrade from my 6.0
Any big differences?

spb GPRS monitor

Hi All,
First of all I hope I'm at the right place as this is my first post and I'm new to PDA's worlds. I just bought a HTC Kaiser and tried to install the spb GRPS monitor which was included on the CD. The installation said:
Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again.
I had 1.82.707.0 WWE ROM and yesterday I upgraded it to 3.28.405.0 WWE. Both the original and the updated ROM cause the same error when I try to install this program. I thought the PDA come from the manufacturer with the original ROM and the shops doing maximum a language install to the current country. It seems they modified something on the ROM? Can I install somehow this legal software (without cracking it and which will not be a trial version software)?
thanks

Seems quite weird. Try going to SPB's site and downloading the latest version from there, and use the registration number you received to register the software.
There is also a program called BatteryStatus, which is freeware (use google to search you'll find it right away), which does sort of the same thing.
I use to use SPB GRPS Monitor, and never ran into this issue.
Where did you get the CD from that has the software anyway? I am pretty sure HTC wouldn't include a 3rd party software on a CD if you got the phone from them, or if it was new in box. The version you have might be really old and you may need to purchase the latest version anway.
Hope that helps.

go to spb software house website and download the update exe/cab file
try it and let us know if it works or no?

apologies i did not read zakhir suggestion we both propose same solution

I got an original new HTC box which included the CD (it seems original HTC as it contains HTC logo copyrights etc... and I think the box original as I got an original HTC varranty card with the device). May be it's an old version and may but I think it will not be a trial SW. I hope as it is a good program But may be not. I can't remember if there is any S/N for the SW and I'm at work atm. I'll check it later.
jahrami:
Thank you for the advice! Actually (in a fast search) I couldn't be fount update for GPRS monitor (as I said I'm at work atm so it was a really fast search). I'll search later again when I will be home. Anyway if I remember correctly somewhere on spb's webpage I read something about upgrade a product (not the GPRS monitor) and the upgrader should it purchase again. (?) Not sure... I'll chack this option later so I just wanted to do some reaction for your post
Thank again the advices!
best regards!

Please Help, Ill even pay you!

I have a HTC Wizard G4
Model T-Mobile MDA - Wizard 200
I tried flashing it with farias old build and it stoped at 99% then error occured now i only get the bootloader screen
I have downloaded an upgrade rom from mda website and tried it but it says i need a different version to update
My phone currently shows only with the red green blue screen
IPL 3.08.0001
SPL 3.08.0001
What on earth can I do to get it working again?

Im currently trying step G4.3 on page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310831
Downloading wizard love now, please advise if I will further ruin the phone or if I am on the wrong path, btw i need this phone urgently so will be going ahead with the next step in about 45 mins, will keep u updated unless I am stopped by one of the uber leet on the forums

Woohoo!
Ok so I ran the step as mentioned above. It is now booting into wizard love version of windows! Could whoever is responsible for creating that walkthrough and tool please email me directly at [email protected]. I would like to give you $50.
I dont know if I should now bother flashing a new rom as it seems to have what I need and I can always install apps on there myself unless anybody else disagrees with that? (is it outdated and a crappy OS or is it fine to keep on here?)
One problem is that it is not a qwerty keyboard layout but functions as one
For example - y is z and ? is ~
Are there any software apps out there that allow you to configure the keyboard layout?
Kindest regards,
Nic

Winmo5 is a fine OS. Have you tried Resco Keyboard Pro? I use it and really like it. WM5 is older, true, but is considered by many to be the last STABLE version of windows mobile. There are many apps and tweaks you can apply that will upgrade your device considerably.

Hi Every1 A HAve A Few Quick Questions!!!

Hi to every1, im new to the forum, to the MDA/Wizard/G3 World and Windows Mobile Pocket Pc Phones.
Ok i just got this Used (Second-hand) T-mobile MDA A.K.A. Wizard and i callled t-mobile US to find out what is the mazimun memory the this phones supports since i couldnt find any info in their site, they didnt have the info either. So if anyone knows about this phone, i would be more than pleased, also let me give you some info about my phone:
T-Mobile MDA (Wizard)
Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Build 14955.2.3.0
Processor: OMAP850-195MHZ
IPL: 2.26
SPL: 2.26
GSM: 02.25.11
OS: 2.26.10.2
This is my e-mail Just in case any1 wants to contact me as to give me any info that cannot be given here, or guide me pointers, guides, tutorials, etc which all will be very much appreciated.
So Far i think i have a G3 Device, right?
I know that t-mobile told me that this device cannot be upgraded by them any more than WinMo5.0 because they just decided to make a new phone, but i have been reading in this forum and i found that this specific device can be upgraded to 6.1 or something like that, also with something that is called Flowcover, or coverflow from HTC is pretty hot, but the thing is that this is my 1st device this kind and i doint have insurance on itsince i got it prepaid for now, also i dont want to mess up my phone or brick it. im very good at following tutorials and step-by-step as long as they are clear and comprehensive.
My point is there too much info and too many threads about the same please can any1 tell me which 1 to follow, and which tuto is the best, and i will foloow it to the letter.
Please PM me or send me an email to let me know what u guys think and if i said something that i shouldnt mention here in the forum please admin feel free to modify my thread, and im sorry if i did in advanced!
Thanks a lot to any1 who can help, please understand me...
I will greatly appreciate all your help and efforts.
Thanks again
Peace out!!!

Heres all you'll need
Since i was in the same boat as you were about 4 days ago, i'll help you out .
After I spent days asking people questions on a thread I finally found this website's wiki page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
It helped me greatly, it has ALL the information and steps that you'd need to flash your phone to Button 1.05, then CID unlock it, then flash to a IPL/SPL of 3.08. Then you'd be able to flash to windows mobile 6.1 or HTC coverflow, what ever you choose. Also, if you have a Vista pc it gives a step by step tutorial to how to make it so that you could do this on vista.(Also, WST[Wizard Service Tool] didnt seem to work on my Vista)
And yes, you have a G3
Hopefully that page will answer all your questions and this gives all the info you need.

Thanks in advanced, but i forgot to tell you my PC Is: Windows XP Pro SP3
NOT VISTA, thank god!
Do i need anything special since i have XP or is XP better for this procedures?
thanks
c-ya
Oh, Also Do i need to backup anything from my phone to the PC before i do any modification? like for safety purposes? i.e. like to revert it back to original state?
Also after i do this can i use it as if it came with Windows Mobile 6? and do i tell this to T-mobile? or can i use it with other service providers?
what type of applications must i get after this, WM6 or WM5 apps? and where do i get them cause ie been looking for games and IR Apps like remote control and cant find any?
sorry but i just have too many questions in my head, also do you mind sending me a PM or email with your choice of WM6 and which is more stable and complatible with Coverflow?
thanks and sorry again!!!

Yeah, there were alot of questions in my head when i did this too.
You don't need anything special for XP to do this. Just follow the instructions on the page I gave you and download the tools you need to flash your phone.
Also, when your doing this it hard-resets your device so any programs, contacts, stuff like that should backup all that stuff on your pc using activesync and just take note of the programs you have so you could put them back on afterwards, but the programs that came with your phone usually come with the rom you are putting on, so those you shouldnt need to worry about.
To revert it back to the state when you got it jsut put an official windows mobile rom.
Also, doing this voids your warranty with T-Mobile for the phone. And when you use Wizard Service Tool(WST) when you CID unlock your phone, you can also SIM unlock it which would allow you to use it with any carrier.
You can get any apps that are compatible with WM, i'm not sure where good places to get apps are yet, i'm still looking too.
I can't really help you with the choice of WM6 and which would be more stable with Coverflow because i dont use Coverflow, but right now i'm running Windows Mobile 6.1 With Manila 2D using Touchflow.(Shown in my sig) That can be found in the Windows Mobile 6 category of the Wizard forums with a lot of other great roms.
Hope this helped .
