Hi All,
Just got a SX66 and have read loads of posts on ROMS, updates, upgrades, BT problems...etc. I would like to get a BT headset but would like the phone to maximumly prepared in hopes of dealing with less problems and stress as former users. Problem??? I don't understand a bit of what these websites are saying and am also scared to death of totally destroying this expensive machine with the wrong press of a key. Does any one have the time to walk this clueless person through these upgrades. I hold myself personally responsible for anything that goes wrong. I can do it via IM since I have two computers at home - so can use one to communicate and one to work on the upgrades - both in internet access. I would greatly appreciate it! I have a very flexible schedule and have no problems doing it at mid-night if that is a reasonable time in your timezone!!! If anyone has the time can you please e-mail me at [email protected]. THANKS!!! :?
i tried to update my xda2i rom and it is now dead i am running windows vista. the screen shows usb v1.01 i have read elswhere that all is not lost and some people have suggested trying to install rom again on a pc running windows xp i have tried this without success when i run the upgrade program it shows a communication error 101 i would really appreciate any help or suggestions
If screen shows USB 1.01, it means that your mobile is not completely dead. Worse case when it shows Serial.
Go to Windows XP and install ActiveSync 3.7(only 3.7, not later version) and try to flash again.
Don't worry, I think it will be ok.

you obviously canot read old post or anything relating to the forum, if you care to actually look there is a post in the forum about the update, and a link in the post to download the OS.
pls try looking before asking daft questions.
FYI the post is called... Deathnoise 1.11.171 ROM. Bluetooth patched, camera fixed. Radio 1.04
amazing isnt it? and that was just a few lines down from this topic, it took me ooo 1 second to find it.
and for the guy that posted teh rply before this one, your an idiot that was a XDA2 not XDA2i
this flame of a idiotic noob was braught to you by.. Flame co.inc.
god sakes dont anybody ever EVER look to see if the few thousand ppl that have been here before may have had the same problem? try reading other posts before asking daft questions
Get a life..and a sh*g skeeve..you take life too seriously. Some people have meaningful and busy lives and don't spend hours and days like you trawling through all these posts, there is a world outside your bedroom you know
ps thanks for the link, i'm just too busy to have checked for my 'idiot noob self' but i've bought a new pda anyway after posting that

you proved my point, nuf said.
It took longer for you to hijack this thread than it would have to check another thread. That would have been much faster to read than signing up to the forum and asking the same old questions.
its very annoying when someone asks a question that been asked a thousand times, I am a mod (not here) in a few pc based forums, you know how long we have to spend removing threads or answering the same olds which have been asked time and time again, even though there are forum search engines, stickies or other posts answering them?
To be honest its you who needs to learn how to use a forum. And READ the forum rules. just like the hundreds of other users out there that never bother.
fyi: I am a second chef in a restaurant and work 36 hours a week. I also run a small pc repair business in my spare time, I just happen to love my xda2 and xad2i, so frequent these forums. Odd really shame I cannot get out of my bedroom and getting a "sh*g"? Well not as often as I would like, but I do manage. And its not nice making this a personal slur, as I was only pointing out your ineptitude about the use and etiquette of the net and forums.
p.s. if you would care to actually read my post as well, i never called you anything, it was the guy that poseted before you that tried to update to wm5/6. that "idiot noob self" must be somthing you get called alot (thats a personnel dig, as i like to leave things even)

HELp !!
My XDa2I has today started randam resets , 7 times thus far !
I changed the battery with no success and it has just settled down at last .
Each reset showed the serial numbers at the bottom of the screen .
Does that indicate something ??

ideas where I can get a cheap replacement battery for my dying XDA 2i ?
hi guys, I have my precious HTC touch diamond for a week now, and because of its beautifull shine, everyone wants to have one.
That's why i did some searching on the web about anti theft programs, and I found these 3
Ultimate Theft Alert v3
W.I.M.P.
Sprite Terminator
They all look pretty good, but before buying anything (or downloading ) I want to know wich one is best to pick, could you guys help me with that? also keep on mind that the program has to work on a VGA screen
Thanks, Markos Wahid
Tried three of them also and decided to (actually buy) sprite terminator with a coupon disc 50% (forgot where i got it thou), reason to buy:
- support
- price (very cheap!!!)
- easy to use
a program called mobile justice thats free and does the job, if you burn it in to a ROM before you flash the ROM to your device it will resist hardresets as well unlike most programs out there.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice/
not to mention a steel chain with a steel lock, one end at yr diamond, second one around yr neck
jokes aside, ultimate theft alert is the most popular.
i am sorry to see that the diamond in his actual configuration doesn't support the very slim chance that somebody will find it and be willing to return it, i am talking about OWNER INFORMATION!! gone in the invisible "today" screen
I need some advice to burn Ultimate theft alert to a ROM on diamond.
Is this possible?
^probably... check the developer forum..theyd be better at answering that...
i think the guy who makes ultimate theft also posts here...It seems the nicest.. the other alternative is sprite...the middle one doesnt look nice. i dont really know since i never had a wm device. im just saying from what ive read...
I tried to install Theft Alert but the instalation crashes...
Has anyone the same issue?

Settings --> Owner information --> Options --> "When the device is turned on, display: Identification Information"
Sprite terminator requires some additional editing. It says my GPS location is in China somewhere.
Ultimate Theft seems to work alright, but I havent tested it yet with the sims, which I'll do in a few minutes.
I like the ULT 3.5 better.
what i'll like to know is how to burn. the developer section have no guide on actual burning and takes for granted that we're rom cookers so i for one, understand nothing T.T

I agree. All these softwares are useless as most people would hard reset the device.... As far as cooking goes, I really want to get into doing this - I just need the 'beginner' tutorial, before the 'hardcore' tutorial..
Even the SPL must be protected against reflashing of the phone then. Is that possible?
So locking the SPL so no new SPL can be flashed either, and new ROM flashing is impossible then.
There are too many smart people who just fix that 'hot' phone with UTA or any program to original. And the thing you want is you phone back.

Well I do know that HardSPL has overwrite protection and you cannot flash a new SPL after you've installed it. Although there will be a 'downgrade' package soon so you can get back to stock SPL.
I don't understand why there isn't such a flash and/or hard reset protection...it's just very frustrating when you lose the device(like I did once) knowing the next 'owner' could simply hard reset (or flash a new ROM) to use it as his own device. I know, cooking some settings into a ROM solves a little piece, but more and more people are aware of XDA-dev and know about flashing. So you could cook your anti-theft into your ROM, but agianst flashing there is nothing u can do
Well, I thought, it should be possible to lock SPL flashing, by encrypting the bootloader by (my own) password?
On the moment one makes flashing without my password impossible, a antitheft program can be installed in the ROM and running always, even with hard-reset.
One should vind an easy way of providing MY sim card data into that rom prior to flashing.
Hi Folks,
But back to the topic, is there any anti-theft programs that really works in the first place for Diamond? I had tried Star Enforcer (it can't get the current IMSI number), Mobile Justice (it can't send out SMS) and RemoteTracker (can't run... I need to research more on this..).
Cheers.
mobile justice, did you install the certificate? most problems are as a result of that not being done, give me a PM if you want a hand and ill talk you through it, it does work well, but as already been mentioned all it takes for any software is a full flash, if you install many of the apps to the ROM before flashing it you can at least survive a hard reset.
Thanks Dazza,
I had missed installing the certificate.
But now, after some testing, I found out that it was only able to send out SMS unless I select "Disp.MsgBox".
Is this something expected? May be MJ needs to be re-rewritten or recompiled for WM6.1?
I'm aware of the hard reset issue. Am planning for myself to learn how to cook up a ROM, with my details in, to prevent this.
Cheers.
Tried UTA 3.5. and WIMP
Both can send out Text messages to designated telephone no.
But i thought UTA 3.5 could monitor the sms and phone calls going in or out of the phone. but it didnt seem to work. it crashed. and when you inserted a new sim it kept on asking whether i wanted to run the .exe file not very good.
Am testing out WIMP at the moment and seems to be ok.
but not alot of functionality if compared with UTA that is if UTA worked.
That would be a very good idea if you can input it into the ROM. but will you not have to mess with the registry to 'register' the product and keep your data.?
Well,
When I did a hard-reset last week, I observed that the device begins installing some software onto itself, just like it did when I first powered it up. May be we can cook up something into a cook ROM to do something identical? E.g. the settings required for MJ?
But then, I'm a noob at this stage (with a full time job and family). So, I'll have a very long way to go.
Cheers.
I have AT&T 8925, live in United States, Run on a Dutty Rom and pretty much everything else is simple. No serious tweaking or reg hacks.
So Today, I go into work, plug in my PDA, and no sync. It is charging via the USB, but not syncing to Activesync. I need Activesync, it has all my contacts, appointments, etc etc. In the process of trying to troubleshoot this problem I have wiped my phone clean.
I have tried it all;
clearing storage on phone
deleting activesync off PC (4.5) and reinstalling, multiple times
Used Microsfts Troubleshooting guide
I have installed Activesync on three different PC's and all wont recognize the phone, as if its not there, but it does charge. I also have tried 3 different USB cords.
I don't know what to do, I even stumped the HTC troubleshooting tech guy. I also am screwed since if I send this phone back to AT&T under warranty to get a new one they will see the Dutty ROM and that will void my warranty. I would reinstall the original Windows/AT&T shipped Rom, but I cant get the Activesync up or don't know how to get a PC to recognize my PDA.
So.........I beg and plead, lend your advice for as long as this thread goes (hoping its in the right place) I will try your ideas, theories, and what nots.
IT seems like it would just be something so simple......is it? Where is my Data Connection.....
Thank you fellow XDA members for your time and assistance.

Do you get the "connecting" sound on the PC when you plug the device (same one you get when plugging any USB device)? If not I'd go for hardware fault on the phone's USB port... maybe one of the connector's solder points got ripped or whatever. That's if the port isn't fried altogether... Done anything special between the last time it worked and the first one it didn't?
This may be obvious...but did you restart your computer and hard reset your phone, then try? Im using vista and ive had no problems with any roms...so it just maybe a temporary problem.
Also test this while using the back USB ports, the front ports do not connect the same as the back ports do.
When my new Tilt's screen died an untimely death, I spent all day restoring all my goodies to the replacement Tilt. The next day, went to ActiveSync, and NOTHING! Charged, etc, but no connection. I did all the steps you tried and a few more.
Then, after wasting an entire evening, I found the solution!
Go to Connections>USB to PC, and uncheck 'Enable advanced network". Plug it and let 'er sync.

ahaha yea i thought graff had already checked the software so i didnt bother going into that
I suggest u try to search, there is a search option - type there something like "cannot conect to activesync" - there are milions of threads with this problem, unfortunately I dont know if there will be a solution for u. Just try that out and read.
This happened to me and I had to send my phone in to at&t. I know this probably wasn't what you wanted to hear. They sent me another phone and gave me 10 days from the day I received the new phone to send back the old. I also had the same rom as above I couldn't even flash it via sd card, so I sent it as was and haven't heard anything since. This was two months ago. The problem turned out to be with the mini usb port, it was warped like it got to hot or something. Maybe from using in car for gps I don't know. I hope this helps.
answers and bump
As for searching........always someone has to say it, "why dont you try the search option" - my friend, I am a google allstar and beleive in the forum searching till you can no more then post theory. Now saying that, I am willing to bet the answer to my problem is buried within a post in some thread with some fabric of the entire XDA forum. Finding it though can be harder than removing bubblegum from buckwheats hair.
So I have tried a hard reset for the PDA and the restarted my PC, several times.
...no go
I knew something was wrong when I lost the "ding" every time I hooked up the PDA via USB to my computer.
I had tried the unchecking the Enable Advanced Network before but did again and reset the phone with hopes of glory today. No glory.
I feel I have lost the phone and am ready to move on. Its just so friggen hard since it charges. How can it charge, and not stream data! I fried just the right parts of the mini USB? Blasted! So so so so disappointing because I felt I really had it nailed this time with the perfect radio, ROM, Dialer, programs, software, it all.....well maybe not radio, but my receptions suck all the time anyways and I live in Charlotte NC, a major US city with great AT&T coverage.
Now.....I am still open to any ideas and creative thoughts......but how do I get a the original WM6 Shipped ROM back on the phone? If I cant get any PC to recognize my PC via USB? I am calling in the warranty people today and not speaking of my Dutty, but having a new phone shipped. I just hope not to see a nasty bill come one month or two.
Thanks so far, well done XDA forum friends,

.....I am curious for you. Two months seems like your in the clear, but I hope not to jinx you. I have done the whole 10 days thing 6 times so far since the original purchase of my 8525 in August of 2007. Wasn't until the 5th time I complained and they offered me the 8925 as a replacement. The first five were all shipped back on time, with original ROM's and valid device malfunctions. Never have I been billed.....yet........

True, but forst I gotta get my mini back in the full size adapter then find a friend with a printer that accepts my scandisk so I can transfer the file over to it. Right now at work trying to save the file to the storage card via wifi. Shall be interesting to see if it works. Didnt on phone, said not enough mem.
Thanks for the suggestion, was so hooked on USB, forgot the other various aspects of the all great HTC.

You are wise my friend. Thank you for the other software, I will try that. Funny thing about the PC, is I have tried three different PC's, all which it used to sync or try to sync with when I would just be charging. I would love to flash via SD card, but first I need the adapter for my computer, or track a friend down with a printer and correct slot. That might be done tonight. I am at work now trying to download the a rapidshare file of a shipped rom, free style, slow style, and prolly not going to work. But hey, its a learning experience.
Either way, my warranty is up in August, so I figure why not get one more nice new fresh 8925 before then. Ordered new one today, comes next week. I will still try and flash back to the shipped rom via SD tonight.
XDA and its members Rock, this is by far the most help I have ever received via my few threads.

Post your results then.
Everybody knows that xda rulez.
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 =)
