XDA Mini S ROM update

Hi
Am newbie to the whole XDA thing (am just converting from BB), have managed to unlock my XDA Mini S and tried running K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020721_ship.exe as i heard this would reflash the ROM to the latest (a friend of mine gave me this copy).
Got an error during this, and wondered if there was a specific XDA Mini S version (have searched on the site and it appears that there is on ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard) and there are many different ROMS under the ROM directory, but i am unable to login to this site.
Am i just being thick here.
Any help gretaly appreciated.

That ROM upgrade worked ok on my xda-mini-s
When I upgraded my ROM I done the following.....
#unlock phone
with no SIM card in phone
copy EnableRapi.cab to phone
run EnableRapi.cab from phone
run lokiwiz.bat from PC
select option 'U' Unlock SIM
phone reboots
add SIM to backout bin file names on PC
run lokiwiz.bat from PC
select option 'C' unlock CID
phone reboots
add CID to backout bin file names on PC
#install new ROM
uncomress ROM file from zip
click ROM install file
follow instruction
takes 10 minutes
phone reboots
Hope this helps

Bilbo,
Hi. I ran through what you put but my Mini S does not auto reboot. I'm not sure the exact definition of a soft reboot is? - Put the stylus in the side or hold the power button for a few seconds?
Either way I cannot get the new KJAM rom on as invalid vendor ID is haunting me.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You
Ben

Dudes - I've done the same upgrade to my mini S. Not sure if it's worth the bother. No difference in speed/performance and my keyboard shifted symbols (@?£$) are out of sync. I think I'll go back to the Mini S rom without the customised stuff.

LLcoolJ:
I noticed lots of difference, speed and battery life.
To get the keyboard from US to UK symbols use the following:
Here are the registry changes ....
Keyboard language
Registry: HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
Key: Locale (string)
Value: 0809 English UK
0409 English US
0407 German
0419 Russian
040C French
0410 Italian
040A Spanish

The invalid vendor ID is the result of the ROM update..... to get rid of it make sure you run :
run lokiwiz.bat from PC
select option 'U' Unlock SIM
phone reboots
add SIM to backout bin file names on PC
A soft reboot is when you hit the reset button on the right hand side, its like rebooting a PC. A hard reset however is a re-install boot where you loose everything and the ROM is re-installed.

Cheers Bilbo - I've made the changes to the registry and the keyboard talks like me. Your right about battery power as well.

Bilbo.
Thank you for replying and helping.
Let me just go over what you said...
first I ran the loki cab file on the mini S.
run lokiwiz.bat from PC -- done.
select option 'U' Unlock SIM -- done (with sim card removed)
phone reboots -- not automatically though, but I will reboot it after the lokiwiz.bat finishes
add SIM to backout bin file names on PC -- what does this mean? this is not in the lokiwiz instructions and this is where i'm going wrong. Where is the bin file created btw, I can never find it?
I have tried so many combinations i'm starting to lose hope.
If you can help to get this damn thing working I promise to make a donation to this web site.
Thanks for all the good work.

i managed to get the unlock, but did not do the CID (so will try that).
So once i have done that will the K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020721_ship.exe upgrade work?

Here's how I got mine working. - Remove the Sim card. Make sure you use Lockwiz02b. Select U to unlock from the options menu. The mini S should reboot automatically. Leave the device alone until its functional again and then start Lockwiz02b again. Select C (CID unlock) from the menu. It should reboot again and close down the Lockwiz box. The mini S should now be ready for a rom upgrade. On my first attempt I used the original Lockwiz prog which caused problems for me.

I'm about to do my rom update on my mini s....but this thread is so confusing!
Is there a step by step guide somewhere on the forum???

ROM Upgrade
Upgraded O2 XDA mini without any real problems:
I used the aWizard 1.3 Beta 2 tool which allowed me to carry out the CID Unlock and was pretty easy to understand. What it did not do was pick up the ROM from the rom folder but once I had completed the CID unlock I ran the rom normally and all was well.
So in essence: Connect Mini to PC via Activesync
Run the aWizard Bat file enabling RAPI (This is used to communicate with your XDA once it has done using Activesync). Then select the Unlock CID option. Once completed I then exited the wizard and followed the instructions as part of the rom upgrade and all worked well no hitches except the one mentioned above about the keyboard (now I have to find out how to modify the registry).
So what I used: aWizard 1.3 Beta 2 and QTEK Rom 2.17
186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe

Mystery Solved!!!!
I finally figured out why its not working....
When I downloaded the loki zip file I opened it up in winzip and dragged the contents to a folder I created. Ran the batch file eveything seemed ok and the unlocker said it unlocked the device.
I have now realised that you have extract the files from the loki zip file and use the folder structure. If you don't, the utils directory is not created and the loki.bat cannot reference some files.
Found the answer on page 12/13 of the loki thread.
Thanks All
Ben

After doing the CID unlock the ROM install worked fine.
Just having the keyboard issue at the moment with symbols, went to:
Registry: HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
Key: Locale (string)
Value: 0809 English UK
but could not find the locale key to set to UK?
All i see is:
DefaultKeyLock
InitialDelay
MuteSwitch
RepeatRate
ShowWarningMsg
Am i looking in the right place or do i have to add this in (if so how)?
Cheers

Youv'e got to create a new registry key. Assuming you've got a registry editor. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Control Panel / Keybd.
Then create a new string value. Name it Locale and give it a value of 0809 for UK. Then reboot.

Just went in a created the new reg key as you mentioned.
Rebooted and it worked.
Many thanks for all your help on this, it is most appreciated.
I am now the converted!!!
So to sum up for anybody else:
Bought XDA Mini S from 02
use Lockwiz02b
Select U to unlock from the options menu
The mini S should reboot automatically
Start Lockwiz02b again
Select C (CID unlock) from the menu
It should reboot again and close down the Lockwiz box
The mini S should now be ready for a rom upgrade.
Then run
K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020721_ship.exe
follow usual prompts.
Once phone is up and running, get a reg edit tool (i used PHMregedit) as the keyboard for a couple of the symbols is out of synch (think it is US style).
Using regedit tool
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Control Panel / Keybd
Then create a new string value
Name it Locale and give it a value of 0809 for UK
Then reboot.
Mini XDA should now work fine.
I have found that the new push technology for email is faster than Blackberry and more usueful.
Hope this is helpful to others.
Cheers great forum

quick question...
i am fed up with waiting for o2 to release their latest ROM so i am going to take the plunge with this ROM instead, my question is do i have to make any special changes once installed to make it work with O2 UK i.e. mms settings, GPRS settings etc.?
Also i noticed somebody has put together a T-Mobile USA customised ROM any chance that somebody will do this for O2 UK?

The Problem im having here is that once i have created the registry key, it deletes after a reboot. Is there something else i need to unlock to allow writing to the registry?

New Roms
Hi there - I'm sure this is your answer - I have read this on many forums.
WM05 takes a while to store the registry updates after you exit your editor. Make the registry change and wait a minute or so before performing the soft reset.
Hope this helps - we have all fell for this "improvement" to WM5 from the boys at MS.
Regards,
Chris.

Thanks Bilbo . . . Spot on. First time to all this and followed it a treat
Thanks All

Hi
I had the same issue and first of all think this is a language compatibility problem (...what is your??)!however, did you installed any other CommManager too??
Try to uninstall it (also others if you did!), soft-reset, install only this one again (but be sure the CommManager.exe app is really closed!!)!!If doens't work:
1)go in the registry and check these keys (default value): [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager]
->"EmptyMenuBar -> 0"
->"TextColor -> 0"
2)go in the \Windows folder and look for the "CommManager.exe.0409.mui" file (...i'm assuming you haven't an english device/os), cut it and paste wherever you want.Soft-reset and look what happen!If still nothing change the language code (..0409.. -> it is for english, more here) in that file to your default one and overwrite the file in \Windows folder!!Maybe now you get the text, but in english! ...better than nothing!
I have this issue with the 6 button on/off CommManager (i can use it only in English), but using this, like the HTC one (more Beam and 3G buttons, but with 9 (default) and not 10 buttons) i have no language problem, try this one you too!!!
Hope to help you!!
Ciao

Thanx works great now.

..good!!

problem came back...this only happens after i reflash my device, i'm using WWE ATT rom now as compared to dutty's 6.1 wwe, and now my 10 button comm manager is doing the same thing. Heres a screen of what it's showing. (chat and icontact should only be viewable from today screen.)

...So, if you are using a WWE (english) Rom, your isn't a language problem!!
If you necessarily want this CommManager try to ask in the thread where got it (...I didn't well understand if this is the default one coming in that rom!), or try this other one (also 10 buttons, but different -> look the picture!, and try to install over it, if that is the default)!
...is that the default?? (add more info!)
If yes, first of all ask for help in the rom thread (maybe it's a rom bug, and other people have the same problem)!
If no, try what i said above!
Let me know...

Found Problem!
This only happened when I created a shortcut to commanager from windows folder and placed into startmenu/programs, after deleting shortcut all is well. I was trying to re-map the PTT button to work w/ commanager, the only way to I saw to do this was to copy original commanager to the folder that contained a list for re-mapping options (settings/buttons/program buttons) so I guess i'm **** out of luck on a remap to commanager, if you know anything let me know, thanks for your help.

[GUIDE] Translate a ROM into german and maybe any other language (experimental)

Hi folks.
At first i have to say, that this is a somehow unclean and tricky solution, but it works somehow and maybe it can be improved.. There are some threads on this forum, which deal with that, but i'm going to describe, what i did, to get it working.
You need:
- The new Touch IT 2.1-ROM (don't know yet, if it works with other ROMs - think only if it's the same build)
- A backup from a german ROM (mine was made by SPB-backup from the cmEX-image, also don't know if other ROMs/backup tools work)
- The language files from here (German.rar)
- A registry editor (I used PHM regedit)
First i took all the mui-files out, by using the Windows search and copying them into another folder, then i transferred them via ActiveSync into the \Windows folder.
Then I put a link to the registry tool and to the explorer and PHM regedit in the TF3D programs panel (you'll need that, because after changing the registry to use german language your start menu will be screwed up for some reason and you can't access any program anymore).
Now you have to change two registry values and optionally set your region in the regional settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI]
"SysLang"="1031" (for german)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI]
"CurLang"="1031"
-> It's time to do a soft-reset and you'll notice, that the pin-dialogs and so on are in german.
Go to the TF3D programs panel (as i said: Start menu will be screwed up - there are links for programs and settings, but they won't work) and start explorer to execute your backup.
After that your ROM should be fully german.
This is probably not a very good solution and it's kind of buggy, but it is a start..
I couldn't get it until know, how to cook the language files into a ROM (tried it with extracting the new Touch IT 2.1 and inserting the files from German.rar, but ended up with the device starting up and showing a black screen all the time).
If somebody could help me out with that, i would, if i am allowed, make a german version of the Touch IT 2.1 ROM.
Any additions or corrections appreciated!!

Keyboard problem after installing polish xT

Hello,
I've looked everywhere but I can't find sollution for my problem.
I wanted to have a polish dictionary on my new HTC Topaz (Diamond2) and found this topic
http://pdaclub.pl/forum/index.php?topic=132098.0;prev_next=prev#new (sorry in polish) and I've installed te cab file from the link there
(this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58487&d=1195298846)
It have installed the launguage but there is a strange autofill option always turned on even if the keyboard is on ABC mode. The space doesent work propery. At the firs tap it doesn't do anything and on second it copy the underlined text. It works as it would suggests some strange words. It's almost impossible to write a correct sms or everything else by this keybord. New word which I'm writing is underlined.
All the option for autocorrection are off in settings menu.
InWriter keabord seems to work fine?
Maybe it just need to be reinstall but I don't have any oryginal files.
Please HELP!
edit: now I found out that I probably have EzInput 2.0 keyboard which does not support old language files. What should I do now? Install the new version od EzInput?

App/cab for soft reset

I heard of it... does anyone has it?...
...ok found practical solution, sktools has that option...

You don't need sktools. Soft-reset is already available in settings. You just need to make a short cut in the home screen. That's it.
Cheers!

This one works for my omnia2

What about just a long press of the end call button? powers down my Omnia II which is a soft reset.

need a skin more finger friendly for PsShutXP ?

@Stormglider - I looked through every option in the Settings (both MS and Samsung), searched the forum and Google, and could not find the Menu command to soft-reset the Omnia.
I have an i8000L from Bell Canada with the stock rom. What do you use, and what is the exact click sequence you do to execute the soft reset? (I prefer to not install unneeded software if I can avoid it).
Thanks

thx for u share this application...this is my first post joint this forum..
