Beta Magneto Expired - Need to load new OS

Hey all, no doubt there has been discussion on how to obtain and load a new Windows Mobile 2005 OS onto the Blue Angel on this board, however, I couldn't find anything specific to my circumstance.
A friend loaded my MDAIII with a beta of Windows Mobile 2005, which has now become expired and the phone is not useable anymore. I need to load a final version of the OS on the device, but don't have the rom or the tools to do it, and generally don't know how. I have checked
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Blueangel/
briefly, but wasn't sure what I need. During the use of the beta the camera on the phone was not operational either. Maybe there is a separate set of files to make that work. Can anyone provide some tips on where to get what is needed, and what to do with it? I'm without a phone right now and its kind of a bummer
Thanks for any help.

Sorry to tell you this , you need to read here and get from here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home

Beta Expired
Sorry? Don't be, that is exactly what I needed, except for one thing. It is talking about using activesync to connect to the device. The device is not in a state where it is accepting connections. As soon as you turn it on and it boots, you get your password screen. As soon as you log in you are presented with a "this beta has expired" message and can't go anywhere / do anything. Still investigating...
Has anyone seen this beta screen before?

I have not experienced anything like this when i used to use WM5.

I belive you should be able to do this by putting the thing into bootloader mode and then flash it with the XDA Developers version.

Wait...where did your friend get the version he put on your BA?
Is it the same Rom version/OS version?

Nice , maybe he had version difference with us.

ask your friend to enter bootloader and make an SD-backup of his ROM and share it with us. It is very interesting to look at his OS.
The instruction is written here: http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/PDAforum_posts.asp?TID=151&PN=1
PM me if you need more info.

Well, there are a couple ways to go about this.
1. You can get rid of the entire built in software set, and flash a new ROM, like the stock HTC ROM. That will get you the stuff I think you were expecting. But that's not an easy thing to do. If you don't know what a ROM is or what flashing one is. I suggest you don't consider this idea.
or
2. you can try to install some of the stuff you expected piecemeal on top of your exisitng software. This works fine. It may not be the best way to go about it, but its certainly easier and safer. To do this, you can get alot of the software at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438
that is the stickied thread for "latest cabs". Cabs are installable programs. The one you most likely are lookign for is the HTC Home app. Its there. Download it, install it. There's also a configurator program that can be used also. Download and install that.
Hope that helps get you going.

thanks
i think i will just try the second idea

Probably a good idea...Also I just noticed the HTC Home Customizer isn't in that thread. It may have been removed since it's now got its own site. It's still free. You can download it fromhere:
http://www.pocketemu.com/download.html

I have the Orange TyTn ll and I have the HTC screen without having to flash the ROM. People have had problems when flashing the ROM's on Orange.
I am using the Kaiser_htc.home.v2.0.814.722.cab > Customisable home plug in found in the Collection of the Latest Cabs for kaisers Sticky post.
Without this site I would not have a clue about these things as I have only had mine for 10 days and its my first one!!
Thanks to all contributors to this site (However small)

Going from Branded ATT WM5 to Unbranded WM6

Hey guys, I was looking for some sort of tutorial for something.
I was trying to find something that explains how to go from the a Branded AT&T Treo 750 with AT&T Windows Mobile 5 (version 1.13) to the Unbranded Windows Mobile 6.
Does anyone know how to do this or know somewhere which explains it?
It's my brothers phone, I have an AT&T Tilt, so I'm not too experienced with the Palm stuff.
He said that when he tried to run the exe file for an unbranded update it gave him some sort of error.
Anyway, how do I go about switching from Branded to Unbranded WM6?
And what features does which update have? Like which one is the best?
I appreciate any help guys.
Thanks.

Try searching a little before asking. There are thousands of posts to look through, the answer is probably already there..............

Why do you want an unbranded version? I recommend using the official ATT version and then customize the CapPackage.PXP to desired taste. At the end of the day the WM6 is WM6 is WM6 (per se).
And yes, you will need to do some digging - you'll learn much more about your device and how it works (the point of this forum). You'll note in your search that a lot of trial and error and collaboration goes into figuring things out. Once you have done your research, have attempted the upgrade and run into trouble or have a specific question (as opposed to a request for upgrade 101), we're here to help
Cheers!

I'm well aware of that, but the purpose of my post was to see if someone could point me in the right direction.
I've found multiple install files to download but haven't found instructions nor if they're the right install files.
Please keep in mind I've been looking for this for a few weeks now.
Anyway, anyone know anything about this?
Edit: Heh, I just posted right after you without seeing your post.
Anyway, my brother said he wanted the unbranded version for the tethering option or something. He said that the ATT version wasn't tethering properly.

I have the official ATT version with no problems via usb or bluetooth. Give it a shot and if it doesn't work go for the generic version (see sticky in this forum).

Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361518
I answered this, it's the third post. This method will work with any Treo 750 (Cingular, AT&T, etc.). Since then I have upgraded to 2.27 and it is working fine.

Some questions, apologies for my newbie-status...

Hello there,
Great forum you guys have here.
I will be receiving my Diamond on Thursday from Orange. I have some questions and would be very grateful for your help and advice. I have looked across the site for answers but there's so much info it's difficult to know where to start!
Firstly, I understand I may need to flash the ROM to improve speed. Speed is very important to me and so should I need to do this, what ROM would you recommend - something simple, offering a good balance between memory consumption and speed please. Does the official HTC update help at all?
Secondly, what do I need to do to preserve the original ROM, just in case I need to get it back in order to return the phone.
Thirdly, can you provide me with a link that clearly explains the process of updating the ROM as i've never done anything like this before.
If there's anything else i've missed (such as settings changes - I know I should get rid of the Orange homepage in favour of HTC's for instance), please tell me - i'm eager to have my Diamond adequately set-up ASAP.
Thanks for your time & patience,
S.

well i got my diamond from orange a few weeks ago and i would like to know the same. The one thing i can tell you that it comes with rom 1.37 WWE and not the orange version which I thought was weird, the quick start book even shows the diamond with the orange rom. So if your the safe then you wont get a rom ruined by orange

Excellent, I hope the Diamond I receive is the same. I hate Orange extensions!

check out http://www.modmydiamond.info
Very useful site.

Thank you! Seems like a useful site...
Can anyone suggest what ROM to go for or a guide that details/reviews ROMS?
Thanks,
S

read , read & then read some more.
there are way too many ROMS to recommend.
workout what you wnat from a ROM then go find it.
i now this attitude sounds a bit tough but in the end you will gain invaluable knowledge about your phone along the way

I have to agree!
I was once a newb to WinMob (only about a month ago) and I hadn't a clue... I read, read and read and now I up updating roms, radios and installing apps like a good thing!
My own personal preference for a ROM is SwiftBL 5.6 - its super slick and includes loads of apps like GSen, Advanced Config, etc.... very nice app! You'll find it in the ROMs secion!
Enjor your phone!

right o
if you go to the official HTC site you will get a download to the newest official htc rom 1.93 i think which will improve the phone speed no end - it is also easy to install (follow instructions on site). just make sure you backup everything first!
trust me it turned my phone from unusable to a godsend! and its official rom

Thanks for the replies. I will attempt reading the wealth of info available on this site, but i'm swept off my feet with work at the moment. So any concise info from you guys will really help me to get my diamond running well ASAP during this busy time. I have however read the guides on how to install the ROM at least and will get stuck in properly when things calm down.
Would you say that the latest official HTC ROM is faster than swift 6.0?
Thanks again,
S.

But you cannot download from HTC if you have an operator supplied device.

Oh! Damn. Oh well, I guess it's gonna have to be Swift or another ROM then...

[ROM]RUU_Vivo_Sasktel_Canada_WWE_1.46.669.1_Radio_Radio _20.23.30.0802U_38.02.01.17_M

Here new RUU for Vivo

Enjoy!

What do all these region specific roms do? Is there any advantage or extra goodies having one rom over another?

Crazy, this is the one for my carrier. Although the phone is not yet released, I think it is coming in April. I have my upgrade coming up this summer sometime and will get this phone to replace my Nexus One if I can root and install a Vanilla gingerbread rom on it like CM. I'm not into sense at all. But if All else fails, I will still get the phone for an upgrade, unlock it, and sell it and continue to use my N1

Hi,
does anyone know if a non-european rom like that from canada should work on a european version of the IS?
Will european languages be missing when you install this or get you in trouble with specific radio settings?
I got a little bug and was looking for a new firmware (when you open the phone application, normally you get to see the latest calls on top of your contacts and you can quickly navigate through the list by T9 search. However the list is completely empty until I press a key and delete it again.. then the list is displayed and I can search through it)
Thank you!

It doesn't include any information about EU APN's and all this material.
The language is inside without any preset except english
