Well, I have a CDMA Audiovox PPC6600 to a friend who can crack it beyond the touch of the device, he was trying to upgrade to WM6 thing for that device until then there is that I know, and just leaving the unit unusable , and even then I did not find any solution for this case, the device enters the screen colors, screen USB, everything normal, just do not start any system, and not reset works, does the unit is it? That would be correct that?
If anyone knows how to help me, I thank you
Again sorry my bad English, say it is not my forte ^^
from the sound of it you attempted to flash a HARRIER, the cdma version of the blueangel with wm6.
that's a nono. it doesnt work, i've been unable to figure out why exactly.
if you reflash the original wm2003 rom it should be fixed.
Well I tried the whole procedure that I already have to try to reverse the effect until now, nothing more, resets all types and all, and when I use the program update it plugged into the USB, it does not show the version, I think he not released do not know, still await help = \
More thanks anyway =)
do you have another one? if so you can dump to sd and restore. that's how I did it if i remember right.
Worse than I have no other = \, if someone has this file and I can go =).
i'll get you a sdimage by wednesday, do you know how to DD an image to sd in linux?
Friend, you me ai complicates xD, I understand little of the subject = \, sorry, I look at and appreciate the help =)

hi hello to everybody. i need to know many things. maybe an expert will help me/guide me to the links i needed or maybe reply to me. my gf bought me an o2 xda lli last june. it works fine for me all this time and i have no prob about it. i somehow fried the cradle by inserting a bad adaptor to it and it wont work. so i don't do any backups yet or whatsoever from the pc. all i had was the 1 GB sdcard. i bought an infra red adapter recently and was wondering on trying updated roms with all the hype regarding on better performances as you guys have confessed. now unto my question:
1.do i need to upgrade my rom
XDA IIi
Rom Version: 1.11.00 WWE
Rom Date: 01/27/05
Radio Version: 1.00.00
Protocol Version: 1337.39
ExtROM Version: 1.11.923 WWE
since it never gave me a headache as of yet? honest opinion only please
2.how will i do it? any step by step instruction perhaps since i am very new to this.
3.will i be able to return back to my original rom if i happened not to like the upgrades?
4.again is it safe or worth risking it?any step by step procedure to go back to my old rom would be a big help
what do you think guys?
In my opinion you don't need to update your device! And if I know it right there isn't an update over 1.11.00!
Hi MacGuyver first-of-all Welcome to the XDA community. You have mentioned that you have already burnt-up your cradle, and then have you arranged another yet? Because once you will run-out of the battery completely then you will loose all the information as your XDA will reset to its default position.
As far as the concern about the ROM you have got the latest ROM but I think this Rom is the default rom from the manufacturer, I am using the same rom as well but the edited version (you can see in picture), edited means few features have been altered from the original rom e.g. All the O2’s crap has been deleted and by that the system is using less CPU power. I can help you out if you want that Rom. I am a big admirer of the SPB softwares as they are light and accurate (try the link below) and I am using nearly all of their softwares (pictures attached).

One suggestion would be to check out ebay and some of the other online sites for a replacement cradle and power supply, then you will at least have full connectivity to the computer.
thanks for the warm welcome guys. as you can see i live in the philippines and i am away from the metropolis for the moment till the end of the year. there are no cradles for sale right now at this town. so i might end up buying it by january when i return to work. anyways i have seek help from a local cell shop and the dude there gave me this charger which cost me about 10dollars just to have the unit charged. it was a modified nokia charger, but it gets the job done, so i'm guessing that the infra red device i bought will be of no help for connectivity for my Alpine? actually i never tried it yet with the alpine, because i treasure this baby so much don't want to mess or destriy it and all.
i do consider upgrading the camera though since it looks so dusty. and yes i want to rid it of the O2 stuff as well. so far i am happy with it's performance. got few more questions to ask.
1. by fixing the camera, do i really need to have an entirely new rom on the unit?
2.judging by what you guys said, updating the rom using with the infra red device is not adviseable, or it can be done?
3.do people on ebay really can be trusted sending stuff to remote places like the philippines if i go shopping from there?
thank you and i am very much enjoying my stay here guys
Hey a fellow countryman!
There is a shop that sells XDA series Phones and accessories. It's not a specialty shop but it is the only one in the country. If I remember correctly it is called Brightpoint, located in Araneta Mall.
Been there once, I kinda broke the phone and had to have it reflashedd with the original ROM.
First of regarding "upgrading" the ROM, only the Extended Rom can be manipulated.
The radio version has a newer version, v1.04. Don't know the exact difference and the O2 website doesn't give it to Asian XDA owners (been checking and no upgrades for us in this part of the world).
The WWE ROM is still the same thing as far as I have learned. Although you can change it for another language (Don't know how but a lot of people have been requesting the localized version of the ROMs for their country).
One method of taking out the O2 stuff (without having to reflash) to relieve more memory would be to cancel the installation after a hard reset. It is a bit tedious since the installs are somewhat fast and at times you might cancel the installation of an important program!
Plus, our ExtROM also has the keys and screen locked during installation.
On the other hand you can modify your ExtROM to not install the O2 stuff. That would need a cradle (as far as I have experienced).
Keep reading the forums out there to check if you really want to change your ROM or not.
And if you do want to change your ROM, I also learned from these forums how to do it. Also, one poster gave a website that has it as a step by step. It's not anymore updated (the thread) but is still very useful.
On my next post I'll answer your next questions as long as I am sure of the answers...

Answers to questions:
1. As far as I have learned, the camera fix is a CAB installer inside the ExtROM. More like a patch installer. A new ROM isn't needed unless you want the patch to automatically install after a hard reset.
A copy of the CAB file is just what you need.
If you're thinking of grabbing the camera patch posted here, you'll need to open up the ExtROM file (uploaded here) to get it.
2. I haven't used IR yet but I have had a VERY SLOW experience with it. It took me 20+minutes to receive a 1MB file. (haven't checked my settings, it might have caused the slow transfer)
The ROM upgrades are approx. 50MB total.
From my point of view it's better to go for the cradle.
3. There is the ebay philippines website. Although the cradle doesn't get sold separately there.
As for international ebay, you do shoulder the cost of shipping and would also pay additional if customs over here categorized it as taxable goods.
Try checking out Brightpoint at Araneta Mall sometime, they might have the cradle there as a separate item.
Goodluck and don't forget to backup your old ROM before upgrading!
wow thanks a lot JP2005. that was very informative. yep i heard about brightpoint too. actually i have been there i think last year. my phone came from japan but it is in english. after reading your post i have changed my mind regarding upgrading the rom for the moment, maybe in the future but not now.
i am also interested at this cab file installer for the camera to somehow make it look a bit presentable, if you can fill me in the details or anybody around here to show me some links to it that would be much appreciated. anyways i have printed out the instructions i thought might came handy to me regarding guides. thanks you again good day
can any good soul upload an asian rom [factory default] .nbf file to the server? you know the file being used to backed up in the memory card. thanks
also if i just run the cab files inside the zips of the rom upgrade, will it work or crash? for example the camera fix?

I've managed to backup the original ROM sold for the Philippines via the SD card backup.
Unfortunately, it takes the same space as the capacity of the SD card used.
I used the 128MB SD card and have backed up 128MB of ROM data (not the actual size but it uses the whole card).
I'll try to upload it via the download service websites when I have the time. Will PM you or post in this thread the link.
Also, as far as I know you can only flash this file via SD card and bootloader mode.
The necessary programs and instructions I'll try to pack in within an archive file so you don't have to look around for it.
thank you so very much. you just made a pinoy happy
Sorry for late reply...
Here's the link:
Code:

The file is in .rar format and is 83MB...
Good luck with your upgrades!

I don't think the camera patch will affect the OS...
The deepest it can tamper is the registry (as far as I know). It creates the required parameters for the camera to operate.
So I think the camera patch will probably do some fixes to the camera (prog) registry...
thanks for the reply. but you are still not very sure about this yet? i am planning on extracting the camera fix from Pugs rom and running it as a cab file fom the ppc. i am still trying to know if my proceedure will work or fail

This probably won't hurt the system...
I've tried PUG's ROM (the whole package) and my Alpine didn't go haywire.
Everything was fine but I kinda missed the rotatescreen icon and didn't know how to let it show via registry edit...
So I went and restored the original ROM and just upgraded the Radio from PUG's ROM and cooked my own Ext_ROM.
you just run the .cab file of the radio? if so that answers question of running these fixes while everything is installed

nope, the radio is flashed...
I just renamed the ms_.nbf and nk.nbf files so they won't flash together with the radio...
thanks a bunch. it clears up everything.
i guess after i do the radio then i have to get sun/globe/smart configs too since they have UK once and that doesn't include our telcos.

Hey everyone ..
i was using my Blueangel normaly and so happy with it until i faced this problem before 2 days ..
I was texting my gf while i was out and kept on even though the battry gave me a warrny that its really low .. i ignored and kept SMS's her until it went off.
i went home charged my device but its not connecting to the network. it shows either "No Service" (where it shows X beside the signal tower) or "Searching" (where it shows ! beside the signal tower).
Please anyone knows how to turn it on im really in a bad situation here.
Note: just to let you know im using WM5 Hemi's rom and upgraded it today to Xplode's rom just hoping it would help.
Well when i tried another sim on my blueangel it worked and my sim card on another mobile it worked also. im really losing my brain
44 views no one have a slight idea..
anyways thanks alot everyone for visiting
Hi,
All I can suggest is to re-install radio rom! prob 1.15.
If not that then ensure flight mode is NOT active, and battery's fully charged
Also when you reset BA, on first screen does the R show a none?
If so reset, twice, its a common problem with BA and WM5, it isn't able to intialise the radio rom before WM5 boots.
It seems wierd that another sim worked on your BA, must be a faulty/damaged sim.
I also note you've tried the non-working sim on another phone and that works! Wierd that too!
Hope that helps,
Sunny
Have you tried to manually select the network in the "Phone" settings screen? I've heard of similiar problems being fixed by that.
well after i asked here and there and got disappointed with I-Mate people.. they know nothing at all
an IT in my company told me the problem is with my sim card. its damaged cause of the change in the battry power (as he says) it damaged the frequency that my mobile use to read the sim so there for it would work on any mobile except mine.
so i would change the sim but it needs me ages to get free and do that.
THANKS ALOT TO EVERYONE ATLEAST READ MY THREAD OR TRIED TO HELP
YOU GUYS HERE ARE THE BEST
By the way
sunny: the Radio is already 1.15 from ages. but thanks alot for trying to help me.
Fraser: I tried to manualy select the network but it says there is no network which is funny cause there is 4 networks in my area.. actuly im working with the same operator so im inside the tower LOL. the signal streth is the best here.
Thanks alot mates
No problem!
Thats what we're here for!
Regards
Same problem
I once had the same problem. Now I'm no genius when it comes to these phones and it actually took me a whole week to get an idea of what the hell happened to my phone. Basically, these phones are Quad Band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) and for some reason after I upgraded I lost my signal. I found a little application that let me reselect my band (its not built into windows for some reason) and that solved my problem. I just selected "Auto select" and the problem was solved after a soft reset.
Now, I can not remember what that application was but maybe that can give you an idea of what to search for.
No Service issue

Hi, is there more 'democratic' way to resolve this issue than reseting BA twice?
After installation of xplode's R4 for noobs an old version of R 1.06 was left on BA. Thinking that this was a reason for No Service of the phone I dumped latest R , but double f..reseting necessity still persists ...
Is that a normal thing to reset twice such an advanced device when you want even just to call smbdy? Thanks
there is a lil bug in my roms, after totally draining both bateries when you power it on it says NONE for radio you have to soft reset it again in order to work. I have never had a band selection problem but it is possible reason for this

Hi hi there! First of all please accept my deepest appreciation for such a great work you have done to make us - PPC ordinary users - little bit more happy Just one small note - is it possible to upgrade your downlodable R4 file with all necessary ROMs - Radio, etc., etc. With the intention that every Noob trying to upgrade his/her BA, should do it in a push of one button - not searching for separate latest ROMs and HowTo instructions? Thanks for your time!
P.s. Sorry it seems came out little bit off topic....
well it is possible but i have no time to do it. or you can try to copy the radio nbf file into the folder of the nk.nbf and run the upgrade utility
Any solution on this matter ? I am using Helmi MW6 ROM with radio 1.15.00 and i'm having the same problem.
I've searched the forum but found no solution yet.
JP
can someone pls help me with my m700
i want to put the phone pad and t9 on it
can someone explain to me in plain english how to do this, as new to this.
me too
yeah i want to do this too. I was thinking of upgrading to dopod rom to get this but i want to be able to go back to the original orange one if i need to.
progress
Right i have been playing around tonight and this is what i have found.
Orange M700 with ext rom installed - phonepad installs but doesnt work
Orange M700 with ext not rom installed - phonepad installs but doesnt work
Orange M3100 with ext rom installed - phonepad installs but doesnt work
Orange M3100 with ext not rom installed - phonepad installs but AND WORKS
i can only assume that there is something in the m3100 ext rom that is stopping phonepad from working and that it must be natively there in the m700. I even tried my installing my m700 extrom on my m3100 and phonepad still worked after this.
So my conclusion is that there is some update or something in the m3100 extrom that is natively installed on the m700 that causes phonepad not to work.
this is about the end of the road for me, someone with more brains than me will have to take over.
never found out in the end how to do this, so i've now sent the phone back!
someone must know how to do this.
It has been on these forums for a while now. Me and the others who were looking for it all got ours sorted i think after someone told us how.
What i did was to
1. install G4 SIP software
2. soft reset
3. install phonepad, english or the multi language one.
4. soft reset
5. go into settings, sytem, and load G4 SIP hide. In there make phonepad the default.
Should all be done then.
Works everytime for me after i have hard reset. Which in the last few days has been quite a few as i have been testing things.
Hope this helps.
ps. works on hermes too.
I have the SIP program installed but the Phonepad never runs - keeps bringing up the standard keyboard.
Any ideas? Thanks
finally thanxs for all your help make the phone worth having now
So can anyone help me? THe phonepad simply doesnt do anything on my M700 - it justs brings up the keyboard.
I cant believe this thread is still going. This is the same problem everyone has if you dont follow the instructions using SIP tweak.
Just follow my instructions above. So far it has worked for everyone who has tried it that i know of. I cant believe your phone is the only one that doesnt.
oh and i notice that you have posted asking the same question in the other forum about this. Dont double post. What is the point in confusing the situation.
If you have installed the phonepad and you have installed g4 sip tweak and the phonepad will not show then i would have said you probably havent changed the default setting in g4 sip tweak.
OK apologies I was only asking a question. I have since hard reset my device and installed the SIP tool and phonepad as the first things. It now works OK. Thanks for your help.
good good, thats what we like to hear.
Sorry to sound moody, i know it is an arse when you cant get it to work. Me and Warnysouth were asking around for a few days before the solution came out.
Good to hear you got it working though.
Rob
Sorry to bring back this thread, but, I have followed the steps exactly and the keyboard is still the default application...?
Still not working
Mine also will not activate the Phone Pad. It lists it, but everytime I select it, it brings back up the keyboard. I followed the instructions exactly. I even tried Hard-Reseting my phone and then installing g4 SIP, soft reset then Phonepad (which then restarted automatically) then soft reset, changed G4 SIP setting to Phone pad and still the same old keyboard.
It's a Trinity Orange M700.
In 'about' it say my phone is:
OS 5.1.342
Build 15096.3.0.0
Please can someone assist us?!
there is somthing inherently wrong with the Orange (out of the box) ROM, it can be made to work, however many have found it easier to change the rom for either MUN-RUS or LSVW's WM6 which have the phone pad built in, AND will let you select it and the change sticks.
As for warranty, I wouldnt worry, for 2 reasons, they are more likey to want the phone backa dn send you a replacement, and IF needs be there is an un-official Full Orange rom knocking around here in case you need to go back

If you also install this file along with the G4 SIP tweak it seems to work consistanly, even after resets
I extracted this from mUns WM5 rom and use it on my M700 with the original Orange ROM
oooo good work that man
Fixed! But how dumb...
Thanks for your additional tips.
I managed to get it to work in the end. Firstly I was using G4 SIP from program files, when I should have been going to it in Settings. This didn't fix it initially, just got me closer. Then I found out that if I use G4 SIP to hide everything BUT Phone Pad then Tada! it worked! I've unhidden the keyboard now and it will quite happily switch between the two. This ROM is a pain.... I will look into some of the WM6 ROMs kicking around and weigh up if it's going to be easy for me to flash it using Orange. Ta Muchly!
Thanks for the instructions Rob - I got my M700 at the end of last week - installed PhonePad as per your instructions - works fine. Having a spot of bother dumping the ROM - but I'm sure i'll get round it. Thanks again.
Cris.
Why dump your rom... there is already an orange ROM out on here, one of the chaps dumped his for us before he re-romed.
Grab, save, play
Hi, this is my first time posting on this forum but I have nowhere else to go! I have had an XDA mini now for a few months and it has got to a stage now where I can only hear the other caller by using a bluetooth headset.
My question is would a new ROM affect this, is it the O2 ROM particularly bad? I am wary of flashing the ROM and want to know if a fresh one would make any difference at all.
I have also read up about Radio ROMS, can I just replace this?
Sorry for all the questions, I hope you guys can help!
Welcome to XDA-Developers.
If your in call volume has gotten steadily worse over time, it may be a hardware issue. Before you go trying to flash a new ROM you may want to try backing up your personal data and then doing a hard reset first and see if that solves the problem. If it doesn't then flashing a new ROM probably won't help much either.
If you do decide to try flashing a new ROM then make sure you read and re-read the posts on CID unlocking first and make sure you know what you're doing because doing it wrong can turn it in to a nice expensive shiny brick.
You asked if you can replace Radio ROM's, the answer to that is yes. There are plenty of them around here that you can try out. You might try changing to a different radio ROM first before trying a hard reset, but since you said it's been getting steadily worse I'm thinking that it's probably not your problem. I could be wrong about that though.
Thanks for the reply!
I wouldnt say 'steadily worse' but when I got it it was ok and kept going from normal to whisper quiet, like it was a problem with the signal, now its stuck at whisper quiet. I have done many a hard reset and this worked first time around, but then the cycle repeated itself. Now a hard reset does nothing.
Could it be a speaker connection? Also friends have reported that although I can hear them properly on handsfree (built in), they cannot hear my voice very clearly. Seems an odd combo to me....but hey what do I know!
Could you recommend a radio rom or is it a case of trial and error?
Radio ROMs are kind of a trial and error thing, what works for one person in one area might not work so well for someone else in another. It depends on who your carrier is and where you're located. Try 2.19.11 first, it seems to be the one that works for the most people. If that one doesn't work well, try 2.47 and/or 2.69 next as they seem to be the next runners up.
awesome! will give it a go and let you know!
Thanks again!

I am gonna sound like a complete muppet now but how do i install a radio rom. To complicate things more I am a mac user, but have an intel mac so can run windws stuff if necessary.
Sorry to hassle but im not much good at this stuff!
I don't know anything about mac's, but if you can run windows programs like you said, connect your phone to your sync cable and then run the ROMUpdateUtility that is included in the zip file and just follow the instructions. It's easy, and since I'm guessing that you haven't done this kind of thing before, when the rom update utility runs it will tell you that you will lose all your information on your phone. You can ignore that, you won't lose anything. The same utility is used for installing entire ROMs in which case you would lose everything, but not when just updating a Radio ROM.
thanks for the info. Downloaded the radio Rom suggested, ran the utility but it tells me it cannot update and to get a newer version of the update utility. I have looked into this and it seems my Wizard is a G4 model, is there an update utility for this? if so where can I find it!
Thanks in advance!
dont worry found it on the G4 forum! Installed it and I can hear again! Never thought I would get it fixed! Thanks for all our help! It is no longer in danger of flying against the nearest wall!
I have some questions regarding hacking the Shift. And before anyone starts berating me for not searching for these topics first . . . I did. I've been trying to figure this stuff out for weeks, but with all of the broken English (I mean no offense there) and the expert speak, I've become lost. I appreciate any answers at all.
1) Where are the factory settings for the Snapvue side stored? Are they hidden in the original ROM itself? I would assume so, but need to clarify.
2) If the above is correct, I would then have to assume that flashing a ROM would delete those settings. So if someone was to use ecshift.exe to try restoring the Snapvue side to factory default, after having flashed a different ROM, it probably wouldn't work right?
3) Does the community already have the original X9501 ROM? 'Cause I want to make a backup for my own uses, but will share it if the community doesn't have it yet.
4) How do you go about dumping the ROM? Pof's guide really doesn't explain much. I need a bit more to go on.
5) Does the dumped ROM include any personal information? Say, if someone was to set up an email account, does that get included in the ROM dump?
6) Can I flash just a radio? Or do I have to dump the ROM, build the new NBH, or RUU, or ROM, or whatever it's called, inserting the radio, and then compile and flash it?
7) I'm really curious about how the Vista side is able to interact with the Snapvue side (share the WWAN connection for instance), without the user doing anything. This probably is a bit broad of a question, but how does all that work? I mean, why does that work, but we need the USB Tool to get it to connect in other ways? Another question is way does ActiveSync only work when the WWAN is off? And do our carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) realize we're getting the laptop connect service for free?
8) Anybody tried getting a digitizer to work on the screen? Or, has anybody tried changing out the screen with a digitizer screen? I see a 7" digitizer LCD being sold on eBay and wonder if I shouldn't give it a shot. The problem of vectoring might still be there, because the Stealey processor and Photoshop just don't get along, but at least I'll have pressure sensitivity.
9) Lastly, how do I get a petition of sorts started? I see the option to "post a poll" at the bottom, but have no idea what this does. I want to get a running tally of everyone who would be willing to buy a 2GB module for the Shift. I would like to approach the major RAM manufacturers with some hard numbers, showing them exactly how they could possibly benefit, depending on manufacturing expenses. But if we get enough people involved, it may well be worth their while.
Thanks!

Nothing?
Wow. Is there really no one who can respond? Is the community/project dying for real this time?
It would be a sad day indeed. Especially considering the wonderful potential of the Shift. Why, just the other day I discovered that I can turn my Shift into a Mifi device and have every computer in my house connected for only $30 a month. Come on! That's awesome!
Bluetooth and SD card aside, it is a great device! Let's keep the project going!!
i try to answer a bit.
[1] there is no factory setting. just the default stock rom (if no custom rom has been flashed before) or the custom rom image.
[2] again, there is no settings at all. just the rom original state. if custom rom has been flashed, to restore factory setting means reflash stock rom (very hard to get). u only can use hard-reset term.
[3] pls check shift library thread. original stock rom is very hard to get. (i assume only service center have it & no updates available thru htc site )
[4] read it carefully. it is always hard to learn.
[5] no. just the original ROM image.
[6] yes, but what for. some custom rom need specific radio version to get it fully working.
[7] it has special modem interaction. usb tools is to connect the device to connect it with async/wmdc for different purpose. not for internet sharing.
[8] no idea. maybe will hv driver issue
[9] dunno what to answer.
thanks.
Thanks!
monx, you answered a good many of my question to satisfaction, I appreciate it! Anyone else care to shed some light on 4, 8, and 9? These are still lingering questions.
Another lingering question is:
Regarding 6, if I were to flash just a radio would all I have is a radio and no real OS?
Still Need Clarification
So, I finally figured out how to dump the Shift's ROM. I figured out how to turn the .raw files into a .nb and then use the .nb to create a .nbh. I have a backup of the original x9501 ROM.
Now I want to get the phone to work. I don't want to use someone elses custom ROM because I'd like to keep this somewhat legit. I'd like to make my own custom ROM, but want to simple get the phone working first. So . . . how do I go about doing that? Obviously, liberate, hardspl, but then what? Flashing just a radio won't do it right? Because there would still need to be some sort of registry editing to the OS? Anyone have a link to a guide or some info? Appreciate it.
