Now I've no idea what this does but while trawling through the registry looking for other things I found a folder called engineer mode with among other things a string which looks like its the code to enable engineering mode but I havn't yet made it do anything. Its located here:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EngineerMode
Anybody else found this and/or know anything about it?
Just curious really!
found, yes
info, no
There's another thread at Modaco, but it has no additional information either
http://www.modaco.com/lofiversion/index.php/t232313.html
Note that GSMTestMode.exe is available in \Windows\ as well.
probably for creating logs on gsm data signal e.t.c inc gprs
possibly.. though such a logging function is already there; see windows\xpanellog.exe

what is the function of xpanellog.exe exactly...
just for fun,
I added the *#*#364#*#* as a phone number in a generic contact so I don't have to remember it or type it. Just select the name and hit send and voila!
By the way, this works and is slick. For the GSM nerd, it has some valuable info in it!

P.S. There isn't a GSMTestmode.exe in the latest K-Jam ROM so if anyone wants to attach a copy, I'd love to try it.
what works? and what happend?
change the REG as in the first post. Reboot phone.
Now go to the phone and type *#*#364#*#* and in a second or two you'll get a screen full of GSM stats like the actual network you are connected to (310-410 in the case of Cingular here) as well as RSSI and the neighboring cell.
All fun stuff.

Showed me the GSM stats without changing the REG code FYI 8)
Wonder if it's simply a built in "feature"

Hmmmm. would one of you guys that has it coming up with data load 1.12.10 for the radio and see if it disappears? I'd LOVE to know what the difference is that makes it work!
T-Mobile base US MDA load here with 1.12.10 radio on top of it.....
If this is a registry setting to enable the data flow, that'd be cool to find - I suspect it is, but have no clue where to go look for it....
I have Qtek 9100 with radio 1.12, and this is NOT working.
After changihg the key and dialing the magic number, I getting a window popped up with empty fields
FYI
not working with 2.8.7.2 FRE
Radio : 01.13.10
It works with 2.16.9.1

bit of a newbie question but is that ROM in english, also where can i get it - is it on the ftp?
cheers mate
works w/o reg-tweak
Having been unable to get any sense out of O2 in Thailand or Singapore, I took the plunge and installed the PUG ROM (stripped version) from this forum. This went smoothly and most issues that I was having have been resolved. There are however a couple of caveats, obviously the Autoconfig utility goes, not a big issue but I found that using Orange I could not initially receive calls but after making a couple of outgoing calls could. Looking through the Phone settings I note that the Band Selection is gone, i.e. Auto, 900, 1800 etc. presumably this is installed with the Autoconfig. However I think this is not a major issue just to KIV. The issue of the 'vanishing' screen orientation shortcut at the bottom of the today screen isn't resolved, it vanished very quickly. Anyone know how to resolve this one?
Another advantage of the PUG ROM is that it gives more memory!
I've installed pug's rom with o2 crap stripped and camera being improved and it's working find. I did share the same problems like you but it's all gone. I should say almost all but the missing screen orientation icon on the bottom of the today screen.
As for the band selector etc., maybe the following would be of any use to you. You can download custom asia rom here:
http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/Alpine/ExtROM_XDAIIi_v1.11Cooked_2577.rar
you'll find some rom goodies there. Just install whichever you like with a cab installer program so that you can put them in your storage instead of cluttering your main memory!
cheers from your ASEAN friend.
Cooked Asian EXT Rom
Cheers, downloaded this, indeed has quite a few things that may be of use...
downloading it, hope this one will work.
The only things that missing are:
1. Screen orientation button
2. Band network selector
is that all ?
using ftp://xda:[email protected]_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed.rar
sorry for the silly questions.
autoconfigurator
hi. any cab files for the autoconfigurator in the original O2 rom?
Missing screen rotation icon
Has anybody found out how to restore this feature?
Combine pugs ROM with the one from pdamobiz.com
Just take the Autoconfig Asia from pdamobiz and make our own Extended ROM......
Im sure it will help you.....
Is the screenrotate.dll still part of the startup service?
I used Memmaid to check on the startup service of my Alpine. (Still using stock 02 Asia ROM, and still trying to understand to cook own ROM)
If pug's ROM still has the screenrotate.dll in startup service, can we have the icon back by editing the registry?
Screen Rotate & Band Selection CABs
Found something that might be of interest for those who want the band selection and screen rotate icon.
Found out from O2 asia ExtROM that there is a bandsel file... from another forum I read it was for band selection in Phone properties. Might be the band selection everyone here is looking for.
The other is RotateSE.Arm.CAB. Stated it is for rotate screen.
The first I have attached a copy but for the second I can't seem to DL it but rest assured will post it ASAP.
Haven't tried it out, I'm still making research to customize my own ExtROM.
Hope this helps!

Could you copy the bandsel.exe file from your phone and add it here to a zip file? I'm trying to fix the crippled bandsel.exe from my blackjack. No, it's not mine which is "broken". It just comes like that straight from Cingular.
I found this file on ftp:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Hermes/SetHSDPA.zip
I don't know who uploaded it and where is it from (probably an ExtROM).
I used cabextract and strings commands to see what's in there, it seems released by HTC, as it contains this string, very similar to others found on other HTC binaries:
d:\My Documents\HTC\Proj\Hermes\SetHSDPA\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK (ARMV4 I)\Release\SetHSDPA.pdb
Anyone tried it? Is it really working? Is there more info about this I am missing?... thanks!
Whats it do?
Apart from Set HSDPA ?!?!?
Oh yeah, pof !
Also just discovered it on the ftp.
Mystification or leeched from a HTC server ?
The exe won't run on the PDA, but what should it do if run on a PC ?
On the one hand I keep away from trying out dubious software on the PC (won't catch me one of those tricky rootkit trojans or the like).
On the other hand you can also find information on this code here:
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/kyunga/20060707
and here
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/kyunga/20060720
Only problem is:
I do not understand Japanese...
But I'm sure someone here can read this and can report what our friends far away in Japan might have found out
[Calling for xda-dev members from Japan !]
Also I'd be interested in finding out what it does as I always "only" get very good UMTS speed with my HTC here, though HSDPA is there (checked with one of those Mobile Connect Data Cards).
So my TyTN is either not (yet) HSDPA enabled or somehow it is unable to "understand" the encoding from the network here and falls back to UMTS.
Interesting anyway, but I'm sure we will find out about it soon.

You have to run the .lnk file, not the .exe file, this is what it does: SetHSDPA.exe /Enable

Yes, I am always getting UMTS speeds too...
Yes, I am original writer of those articles in my blog
20060707 is written about SetHSDPA.exe option, and 20060720 is about English ROM for Dopod CHT9000 (actually for Dopod 838 Pro that just released in Singapore).
I guess SetHSDPA.exe is in the ROM of all HTC hermes devices. The "SetHSDPA.exe /enable" or "SetHSDPA.exe /disable" is described on PreAutoRun.txt file in \Windows folder of Hermes, and be executed it at the first (or hard reset) initializing process of device(before AutoRun from Extended_ROM).
You can check whether HSDPA of your device is enabled or disabled through open the \Windows\PreAutoRun.txt. At least in case of CHT9000, HSDPA is enabled by default.
Regarding the SetHSDPA.zip on the FTP, I guess a Japanese guy (NOT me) has uploaded it, because I saw a post about uploading this file in a Japanese BBS yesterday.
In Japan, NTT DoCoMo (the largest mobile phone service provider in Japan) has started to ship Japanese version of Hermes under the "hTc Z" name from end of last month. hTc Z have also SetHSDPA.exe in the ROM, however it has DISABLED by default, because still DoCoMo has not started HSDPA service on their UMTS network (branded as "FOMA") yet. I heard it will be started end of this month or early September.
So I guess the Japanese poster of this file has copied it from his or her CHT9000, and post into the FTP with /enable shortcut (.lnk).

Yes you're right, I've checked on my TyTN and SetHSDPA is in \Windows folder and called from PreConfig.txt file (not PreAutoRun.txt).
There is some other interesting stuff on that file also
Many thanks for your clear explanation, I posted the details to wiki

My V1605 shows "disable" in preconfig.txt. Phoned customer support at VF business and was told that this was correct as they are currently only supporting HSDPA on data cards. At this time it is not clear if/when this may change! This is totally different to what I was told when I ordered it.
Since I got my t-mob data card at the weekend I thought the V1605 was slow.
The sethsdpa.ink will not run on my device so I assume it is a first boot only thing, if not somebody please tell me how to make it run!

just put .exe and .lnk in the same folder, and click on .lnk. Nothing is displayed on the screen (as it is intended to run at boot time, and you don't want to see popups when booting), but HSDPA is then enabled.

I tried that but I think Vodafone did something later on to stop it working. I get the message
"The file 'SetHSDPA.exe /Enable' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
Please help Just got a data card and I now realise how much faster HSDPA is and want it for my mobile surfing.

The file calls "SetHSDPA.EXE" not HSDPA.EXE
sorry, I meant "sethsdpa.exe" I guess, I have the right file as I only copied it from the upload on ftp without any changes. just does not work.
has anybody experienced that it works?

Hi Frank,
Just want to know, does your ISP HSDPA can make voice call? Per HK smartone vodaphone said 3.5 G HSDPA service has no voice channel!!! What else solutions can help? SKYPE (really stupid for a phone to use SKYPE to make calls) or dual Number SIM card? Does a dual chips SIM card can support both 2G and 3.5G at the same card?
Thanks,
siukeung
I've been playing this weekend, first downgrading the ROM with 1.04 bootloader, so I could upgrade to the latest HTC x.35 ROM. Having done that and upgraded the radio to the latest version as well, I find I still have one issue.
I've combed through all the registry hacks and have flipped the right bits and entered the appropriate keys/strings and yet I can't get this phone to display anything but "ROGERS" (302720) on the today screen. I was successful changing the operator name on my HTC Herald before sending it off to a friend, but this unit will not cooperate.
Anyone have some hints on where else (obscure if necessary) I can look to make this thing display what I want?
I've never been able to do this either on the Hermes
I kinda think I'm missing the point here...but I got rid of most of my Cingular logos simply by simply downloading all the stuff in my 8525's \windows directory to my pc, and finding all the gif's, png's and jpg files that were Cingular logos. Then I loaded those graphics into photoshop and made transparent images of the same size and properties, saved them back using the original names, and reloaded them to the original locations on the 8525. Restart, and voila, no more Cingular branding.
Maybe this will work in your case?
Regards,

No actually, this has nothing to do with the files on the phone, except that the tweak to change the Operator Name given the right registry value (302720) should work, but doesn't.
OK ... never mind. But I'm confused by what you're asking. You actually have Rogers branding on your Today Screen? Where does it appear?
Maybe this is something Cingular didn't implement? (Thankfully?)
Sorry I couldn't help. (wish there was an icon for "embarrassed"),
No, not branding, it's just displaying "Rogers" on the homescreen when I'd prefer to dictate what it displays.
Cruisin1966 - Rogers name is part of SimCard, you wan't change it.
Same was here - non VoiceStream (or current T-Mobile US) cards said VoiceStream (T-Mobile US), VoiceStream (T-Mobile US) cards said VStream (T-Mobile).
It is part of SIMcard and if your's OTA operator can change name as they want.
Hope this help
No disrespect intended, but please re-read my original post. I successfully changed the name displayed on the homescreen with the HTC Herald, and my question was why can't I changed the name displayed on this 8525.

3G isn't available anywhere but around Toronto, as far as I know. Definitely not in/near Calgary, that much I do know.
Cruisin1966 - hmmm I thought that it might be OpName over UMTS but now it might be just imposible to change SIM directive in this model. I have the same problem with Cingular or T-Mobile.
Lets wait for official aku 3.3 and then we can go back to this discussion.
is there any way to edit the available options in Phone:Band stack?
my weird operator in Brazil (called Claro) uses 1800MHz for GSM and 850MHz for 3G and there is no way to select both of them in any ROM I have ever flashed in my Polaris. then, I am stuck in the old slow EDGE network, because I can't select the right frequencies.
please do not suggest me to select the "Auto" option, for it was obviously selected and it didn't work at all.
I have another phone, a Samsung Jet, which I bought with a rom from my weird operator, and it gives the option to select gsm and 3g bands separately, not in combos as the polaris does. I flashed it with some european rom and the options available were only those combos which my polaris also offers. so, I wonder if it would be possible to change those options while cooking a windows mobile rom to the polaris, just the way my weird operator's crew did with that freaking samsung proprietary OS.
hope you give me some positive feedback.
thank you, guys!
You know you can edit a post instead of creating new one?
