HTC P4300 - Upgrade .Net or new ROM?

Hello, I have an HTC-P4300 (not badged as something else) provided by an local wireless outfit. It is unlocked, actually I don't think it was ever locked! Anyway... I don't really want to update the ROM to WM6 or anything like that, but it has an old version of the .Net CFW on it. There are one or two programs I would love to run, but can't bring myself to chew up 12 of my remaining 14MB or device storage to install .Net.
For me, this begs the question if there is a way to replace the existing .Net in the ROM so it is not using my "user" flash? Any ideas would be great.
I am also a linux user so regardless of the solution I expect I will need activesync won't I? Anyone do these types of upgrade with Linux? Just curious. Thank you for your help and ideas!!

Anyone tried TickerTape 0.5.1 in Fuze w/ stock ROM?

Colleagues,
I have tried running TickerTape on my Fuze with a stock ROM. It installs fine but when I run it, it says that it needs a newer version of .NET. However, I have .NET 3.5 installed.
Have you been able to run it successfully in the same configuration I have?
Thanks in advance.

I have TickerTape-0.5.1.cab installed to my SD card, on stok rom, and it works fine. I did nothing special to make it work. Maybe uninstall, reset, reinstall TickerTape-0.5.1.cab? Or maybe do the same to the "MS .NET CF v3.5..cab". Just a shot in the dark.

OlSarge,
Thanks for your assistance.
I uninstalled TickerTape and .NET 3.5 but when I tried to reinstall .NET back it gives me a message saying "the .NET Compact Framework version you are attempting to install already exists in ROM".
I am at a loss.

You need to flash a cooked ROM. The stock ROM blows. Take a look at this one:forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467592

Installing a different ROM will void the warranty.

Install netCF 2.0! Yes 2.0 because 3.5 does NOT include all features of 2.0
Solved almost all my netCF problems with cooked 3.5.

tyguy,
The problem is that most programs need 3.5.

Issue solved: here is why I could not reinstall .NET 3.5: When you first install 3.5 the instructions tell you that at the end you need to change the registry so that 2.0 is turned off (with a 0) and 3.5 is turned on (with a 1). If you uninstall 3.5 the registry is left untouched, meaning that 3.5 is still on; that's why the message that the version already exists. So, I had to go in, reverse the registry: turn off 3.5 and turn on 2.0; now I was able to reinstall 3.5 successfully.
After this, I was able to install and run TickerTape successfully.

netCF in general
@jdomi99
Though this worked for you there is still an issue.
If you look at the SDK and SPs for 2.0 to 3.5 you WILL see that 3.5 is NOT a super set of 2.0 (meaning including all 2.0 features plus 3.5 additions on top).
They can and will co-exist without negative performance issues so installing both doesn't a.) harm anything and b.) wont slow your device down. Though 2.0 is slower, applications will pull the required parts which may be 2.0 or 3.5.
That's at least how our dot net developers explained the issue.
BTW there is a little software tool to change the settings via an application instead of modding the reg. Unfortunately I do not have it anymore (would appreciate if one could post it).
Edit:
Found the little app in the Lumos thread (see attached) there you can assign general policy and even which app uses which .net version.
Install and you should find it as first listed program under Programs.

Upgrade to 6 stuck on windows loading

Hi,
I got given a couple of Treo 750 phones. Both on the Optus Australian Network so I scratched around for days and found the upgrade software. Shows update 2.27
1st one went perfect.
2nd one on same computer got through copying files and executing update and stalled at the start of completing update.
I got the Windows mobile screen show and it just was not loading for ages. Previous one loaded and then asked for input of Date, touch screen settings etc.
The installer can be re run but says no USB connection at the moment.
I have done a hard reset and get the palm display then locks on the Windows Mobile screen.
I saw procedures to use the Mini SD card but the cards I have won't work in any treo, they are not SDHC type but standard 2G ones.
I next found the recovery tool but holding the left lower button and then hitting reset did not work but does work on my good phone where it shows the coloured bars and SPL....
The left button is a bit dodgy so I suspect it may be faulty. Is there anything else I can try?
EDIT: Ok I pulled apart the phone, looks like it had a hard life as broken case around two screws and they would not unscrew easily. Found the tiny button had dry solder joints. Fixed that up and was able to recover using the reset proceedure.
Phone now working.

could you explain in more detail what you did. thanks man

What would you like to know?
Once I physicaly repaired the phone as indicated in the edit I was able to hold the left hand button (which was faulty) and the reset at the same time that allowed me to get into the SPL mode and recover the phone.
I understand it very little and most posts on these forums are over my head.
I would like windows 6.1 but there is so much information that seems to conflict that I don't know I am game since it is now working on an official 6.0 Optus version.
I am happy to help but if you can maybe tell me where you are at the moment and what you want to acheive and what you have tried I hope I can fill in the gaps for you.

because im new to this to and i got stuck in the windows screen also. so i would like to know what to download and where from and step by step if you could please.
thanks man

Ok to start with what country are you in and what telco were you with eg Vodafone etc as you will need that as a start.

USA and im with AT&A

Try the method describe in the thread below - Mine work
Hi, you might want to try this method
Follow it one by one and do not skip a step
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460783
I just did mine last Saturday (it was a Vodafone phone)
AT&T should be easier since the Windows 6 ROM is easier to get
If you'd like to update to WM 6.1, you should upgrade first to WM 6
Something i read about the radio not working to full capacity if you upgrade straight to 6.1
As for the WM 6 ROM, i'm sure you can find it
Good luck

Hi All,
I have a Treo 750 and it WAS running WM 6.0 Professional (OFFICIAL) and I got it onto the phone and then tried to install WM 6.5 and then I downgraded to 5.0 and tried to update back to 6 and it bricked my treo, any of you wonderful xda ppl have any solution?
Also, I have tried installing the ROM again (via SD updater) and it looks like this:
SPLASH1 OK
BOOTLOAD OK
GSM OK
Micro P OK
EXTROM FAIL
OS
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
I cant install the windows installer one as WMDC 6.1 or ActiveSync 4.5 WILL NOT show the device up on the computer. I have Windows Vista Home Basic, and when I tried MTTY, the only ports I get are COM1, COM2, and COM3. I can't get the usb to show up. Even with MTTY 0.01 when I got the USB connection, it would not open. Is it Vista? Or am I not doing it right? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED TO GET MY POOR TREO BACK!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

Is this universal (i.e. Hermes/BA/Trinity) or just for the Treo 750. I think what bricked it in the first place was installing a custom rom by veisen (WM 6.5)

That one thing didn't work. It keeps coming up ERROR 226: FLASH WRITE ERROR Anything else???

beejive starting -> netcfv35.messages.de.wm.cab

hey guys.
when i try to start the pre installed beejive with my raphael with win mobile 6.5 (EnergyROM 3.0 'Phoenix' (21812)) there is some wired message telling me to download the "netcfv35.messages.de.wm.cab" to get the full error. i have done this. still same ****. havent found anything on inet/xda developers. tried SEVARAL roms/win mobile versions. still no solution. i am wondering if i am the only one.....?!
what i am wondering about is: why does this app tell me to download the DE version(is the code for deutschland - germany). well i am german. but how does the raphael know? i havent installed a german tool. nothing!
maybe some solutions or suggestions!
ty in advance

I dont think beejive works with WM6.5. i had the same prob and had to stop using it. Maybe theres a work around?
EDIT: i was looking for something else and came across a fix for it i tried it out and it works! heres the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421821

have the same error with win mobile 6.1.
also it is pre installed on a 6.5 rom. why should the chef do this if it would not work?!
i tried the same patch few days ago. didnt worked for me. how have you done it?
beejive was pre installed. than i installed the 1. LennySh_SQLCEMobile_3.0.CAB after this the 2. BeeJive_Fix.CAB
still same error..

I had the same issue, and also with TrackMe. The Energy ROM I'm using has .NET 3.7 cooked in. I got BeeJive (and TrackMe) working by installing .NET 3.5 and SQLServerCompact 3.5 core. Once I installed them, both BeeJive and TrackMe worked without any problems.

I have just installed the latest version of windows 6.5 energy rom and can no longer get pockettwit to work get the NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab error. Installed the cab but still dont get the complete error msg. So is the problem because the rom has .NET 3.7 cooked and not .NET3.5? If so is the solution the same as you have above? and if so where i do i find .NET 3.5 an SQLServer...
and install them?
Love the new energy ROM so much quicker etc - though does eat the power

These are the cabs I used to install .NET 3.5 and SQLCE on the 2009/6/13 Energy ROM (standard). I simply installed .NET, then SQLCE, then soft reset. BeeJive (and TrackMe) worked fine after the soft reset. I did not do anything else - both the cabs installed fine.
The forum won't let me attach the .NET cab... The filename is "NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab". I'm sure that I found it somewhere here at XDA, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.

nope.
I installed .NET, then SQLCE, did NOT work. (using energy rom 3.0)
maybe someone is going to need this:
NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab

and YES i did a soft reset..

Strange. It has worked for me 3 times in the last 10 days (trying various software, not liking it, hard reset).
The only thing I can think of is that my sashimi autoconfig installs the SQLCE cab. After sashimi has finished, and I've done some manual tweaking, I soft reset, install .NET 3.5 & SQLCE, soft reset, then everything just works. It is possible that there is a soft reset between .NET and SQLCE - I'm not entirely sure, but its worth a try.
Thanks for linking the .NET cab. For what it's worth, the version I install is 2.58 MB (2,707,308 bytes). Is it possible that yours is different?
I hope you find a way to get it working.

this file got exactly 2,707,308 bytes, too.
well. now i am going to deinstall beejive SQLC an .NET. then install SQLC (softreset) .NET (softreset) beejive (softreset).......nope. still not working. damn it.
just realized that msn is working. maybe my icq contact list is too big? going to try an other account..
edit
icq with 5 contacts working fine. WTF!?

this post is really old. but now i found out whats the problem:
after A LOT of research i GUESSED that a problem might be some strange user names in my contact list. i am talking about characters like this ****: ÐØΓťšĹĦĨ (just examples..)
i changed their 1337 h4xx0r!!1111oneone names into something normal...
now its working
maybe this is going to help somebody.

NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab
If you are having trouble making the error messages to work with NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab you might want to try to remove \Windows\System.SR.dll (backup, of course) and then installing the messages cab.

NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab and others...
im doing a forum search to try to find out what these netCFv..etc files are for but havent really figured it out. there are a few different ones out there, dont even know which I would need.
Ive also had programs tell me to install these net files before, but Im hesitant to start searching out and installing things I dont understand.
Im using stock rom (havent updated yet) for T Mobile USA HD2, with Cookies installed.
Any love for a noob?

Topaz becomes HTC Legend

Hey Guys,
today I plugged in my Topaz in my computer as I wanted to synchronize all the stuff like e-mail and calender via the Windows Mobile Device Center and something very strange happened. My PC couldn't connect vie Active Sync and first I didn't know why. After restarting the device and the computer, nothing changed. After several restarts I got it. My computer thinks I got a HTC Legend!
The thing is: I use Android via HaRET and overall it works fine. Battery is very bad, but with OC it runs very smooth. I use all the updates from XDAnroid Thread, but with an system.ext2 which contains the Sense UI.
I don't know whether this is possible, but the use of android changed my Topaz into a Legend. I still cannot synch the device, also tried HTC Synch (just for fun), but that didn't go either.
Does anyone of you have the same problem? I read on a thread which schould collect harmful effects on your Windows Mobile device after using buggy Android. I thought nothing should go wrong if you launch it from sd-memory. But actually I got more Android than I wanted...

download pdanet it is for tethering, but it will install the drivers for your phone while your in android.

@ wavesshock
Go to boot-loader,plug the usb-cord into pc.Systemmanager will found an new device.
After that can you can sync again with mobile-device-center.

Thanks. But that didn't work, too. Even after several soft- and hard-resets my computer does not install the right driver... I also tried another computer - it still tries to download HTC Legend driver. Somehow a ROM Update does not work since that moment. I use stoch HTC 2.53.407 GER Rom, but I'm not able to run the update utility in one single instance. it needs several times to run (somehow)... Is there another way of getting everything back again? I mean: I like Android, but if it bricks my device... Why is my topaz behaving like that?
(ps. I got a topa100 (i think) it's o2-branded but i rooted it and installed the stock htc rom. updating hard-spl does not work, too. lol - there are so many thing not working anymore.)

The problem is solved! Got a new device trough my warranty! Now there're no problems neither with Windows Mobile, nor Android!
