Ciao a tutti!
Strange problem this. I've hard reset my XDA II a load of times 'cos my PC is kinda allergic to it sometimes. That's life I suppose!
Normally though after a hard reset the O2 installer kicks in and installs their own programs etc.
However last week it just hard reset - no O2 stuff!
Tried a couple more times but nothing.
Gone too is my MMS program, the PDF readers, and MSN Messenger won't open even though there's an icon. (I tried to download MSN from microsoft's website but it won't transfer in Activesync to install)
The Device information says ROM 1.03.00 USA, ROM date 09/24/03, Radio 1.05.12, Protocol 1337.12. Does that sound OK to you experts?
Anyway, I took a deep breath and steeled myself to 'cook a ROM' at yorch.net but the exe wouldn't install saying something like that it couldn't access a remote program on the device - I forget the actual wording now unfortunately. The SD flashing and bootloaders etc is all greek to me even though I read the helpful files on this site. Decided not to risk banjaxing the whole thing!
So at the moment I have a working XDA II but it is a shadow of its former glory. I tried O2 website for the new ROM but no sign yet. (Does anyone know when that's due?)
Anyway, if anyone can spare the time to advise I'd appreciate it!
Oh, and a tip-top St Patrick's Day to you all tomorrow!
Yup, I'm Irish - despite the address!
Grazie tantissimo

I knew you were Irish once you said "Banjaxed", I think your problem is with the extended rom, though how you managed to lose it is weird, it usually has to be unlocked to enable deletion or addition of files. If you browse the extended rom you should have all the files that are used on auto configuration start up. Take a look and see what files are present if any. You may need to use a program to make the files visible first though. Take a look around on the forum and search for extended rom.
Extended ROM empty!
Hey - Thanks for that my friend!
I looked up extended ROM on the forum as you suggested and downloaded that little file to see my Extended Rom.
Yep, it's empty - nothin' there at all!
I'm guessing I wiped it while tentatively trying to upgrade the ROM.
Does anyone have such a thing as the files I need to put there to make everything work again? I just noticed the camera is kaput too!
Any help would be appreciated if any of you guys have the time.
Best regards
Conor
Yorch.net doesn't have XDA II ROMs, only for the original XDA. So they won't (or at least "shouldn't") install on the XDA II.
There you go... so that's what happened
Didn't know all that Yorch stuff was just for XDA I !!!
Fekkit!
Now my darling XDAII is WORSE than an XDA I 'cos not even MSN works - tried upgrading but no use!
My Extended ROM is completely nude
no camera, MMS, PDF readers etc - it's stone-age...
Can anyone advise me on my options?
Would the new O2 upgrade help when it emerges? Any news on that anyone?
Down and Out in the Eternal City...

If you follow this link, look for applecoms post, you can download the entire extended rom then copy it to your extended rom space.

Cruisin-thru , you de man!
Hey - you're a genius and a gentleman! Worked a dream!
Sincere thanks!
I'm trying to bluejack with my M2000 running WM5. I've tryed various software but none of it works, Dose anyone know of any software that will do this? I used to be able to do it in WM2003 just by sending contacts via bluetooth.
Thanks in advance WWWeed........
I would love to find a good pocket pc program that could automaticly bluejack people.on my old P800 i use a program called s-man that does a constant scan for other phones and then sends a message to them over and over again
why would people want to do that ?

there is such a program, i've used it on my old c500 and my jasjar, it's called smurf, I forget the link, but google it and ye shall find. btw it's freeware and does auto bluejacking
STUNNING, STUNNING, thanks for the smurf heads up, you are a star!
doesnt work ir searches devices and then shows an error and quits =(( help
link
Here's the link:
http://www.gatefold.co.uk/smurf/
(download is below on the page)
Looks nice btw :lol:
And you need the Microsoft Bluetooth stack for this one,
finally 'Jack's Back on WM5'
its true, i can blue jack onedevices and then as soon as it trys again-it just comes up with and error, i wish we had a version of S-man (from p800/P9XX)
if anyone know of some better software then please to tell 8)
Ok im bored with Smurf, there must be a better software out there, i would like to do some blue snarfing for fun, does anyone know of anything better out there?
http://www.inventop.com/proximitymailsetup.exe
i havn't tested it yet,it might be the right stuff
no such luck, im sure it would work on the M1000/M2000, on my M5000 it just says it cant find a bluetooth stack so forget that download
can sum1 please post a cab for the the .net compact v.2 thanks!
the file for compact framework v2 is http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/programming/netcf/downloads/default.aspx
thats from the microsoft web page just click the top link and then download the msi file and it will add it to your activesync for next time you sync up
I cant believe that there is still not a good bluejacking program out there for WM5, or windows mobil all together, how come symbian have loads of REALY good ones and we have like 1 and thats not that good either, i rekon someone is holding out and there is a great on efor us out there!.
Anyone?
bluejacking...
Hold your breath...
I'm currently implementing bluejacking in btCrawler.
It's already working for PPC but I need a few more days to put everything up for Smartphones...
You will be able to send messages AND files!
You can for example create your own "special" version 3 vcard including a photo or sound and then send it with btCrawler.
I'm also planning to implement something like a proximity mode. When a device comes in range a predefined automessage or file is sent...
however, link is: http://www.silentservices.de/btCrawler.html
Blujacking?
What is it? I've heard of Bluetooth...but not blujacking. Sounds like something dirty when you talk about Smurfs and blujacking....LOL
Try Sniper... (M$ bluetooth stack req'd)

Bluejacking is the practise of sending text or files to other bluetooth compatible devices that support OBEX push. Most people think it has something to do with Hijacking, but infact it's just named after the guy who came up with it named Jack. Bluejacking in not "Hijacking" or "Hacking" in any sense, you can only push, not pull.
Cornholio you are a star!, i didn't relise you had been making this program, you should start a thread to see if many people are interested!, i will try it out, have you tryed using Sman.sis on a sony Ericsson phone, its very good-it might give you a few ideas.
Oink i have got sniper-it seems a bit slow and fragile but i havnt tested it enough to give a good appion so my mind might change
Hello!
I was wondering if someone could please test a piece of software for me.
http://www.windsorinterfaces.com/datelens.shtml
It's a calendar-front end with an amazingly innovative interface.
It installs and runs on WM2005, BUT data entry is broken.
When you try to create a new appointment, the dates are all wrong (year is 1753!) If you try to change it to 2007, it changes it to 9998(!)
I have confirmed this fault on other WM5 handsets. The developer says it works fine for him and isn't sure what's causing the problem.
(my original post)
So if someone with W2003 is interested, please report on the following:
1) install the software
2) run the software and try to create a new appointment
3) Can you set the correct appointment date? or is it year 1753?
THANKYOU TO EVERYONE WHO GIVES THIS A TRY!!!
All the best,
Dax.
awww c'mon! Nobody will try it for me? It won't take long...
Sorry, I promise I won't be a nuissance again.
Dax,
I have tested you app on my O2 mini, and all looks good. No date issues at all. Actualy its a nice calander program.
Thanks
Richard
Thanks
Hey Richard,
Yes, it's fantastic, isn't it?
Looks like the problem is WM5 related. I don't know how to fix it, but at least we know what it is.
Thankyou very much for testing it and I'm glad you like it! (And glad it runs on your system)
All the best,
Dax.
I have the same problem with DateLens - XDA miniS, OMAP850, Windows Mobile 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0)
Sometimes I get the following error:
"DateLensApp.exe
Exception
Application::Run+0xf
DateLensForm::Main+0x27"
Maybe this will help.
I like DateLens very much, not to compare with other calender-programs.
Dedis
i couldn;t install it at all - maybe its cause im using vista
Thanks Dedis, that information could be useful in working out the problem.
Thanks!
Hi,
I used to use Dial Up Networking to access TomTom plus services on my Go 910 through my Hermes, but as we well know, MS has replaced this feature with ICS as of AKU 3 onwards. I'm now using WM6 and don't want to go back.
I found this blog on MSDN. Apparently DUN may reappear in WM6 .... one day ... if the operators choose to include it...
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/04/17/why-did-we-remove-bluetooth-dun.aspx
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone had looked into ways to port DUN from a pre-AKU 3 version of WM5 into WM6. Is it just a bunch of dlls a few registry settings, or is this functionality very intertwined in the OS and hard to transport?
I don't want to duplicate work, so if anyone has looked into this already please let me know. Also let me know if you think this would be a worthwhile project. If no one else has done this, I'd be happy to give it a try.
Thanks

It can't be hacked on the Registry level - see my related remarks in my article on all these q's.
That is, simple registry hacking won't work.
Thanks. Your very good article answers most of my questions. (not what I hoped to hear unfortunately).
One thing is still not clear in my mind though: Is this functionality solely a dependency of the (upgraded) MS BT stack and not the OS itself? If so, is it available in, say, the Widcomm stack and could one get DUN functionality back on a WM6 ROM by using the Widcomm stack instead of the Microsoft one?
Sorry I am no longer mentaining this(as you can see i no longer have a WM device)
Hey Xda!!!
I have decided to make a cab for those of us who have T-Mobile and woudn't
mind checking on our account status now and again.
I've just started to venture in to the world of the custom roms for the Rodium
and noticed they did not have this little handy app.... so with out any further ado this is for yoU
Version: My_Account 1_0_0_3
I will update when newer comes out
ps: This has only been tried and tested on Touch-IT Rhodium 6.5-23053
so please let me know if you are having any issue with this app on any other ROM
EDIT:for now this is only for US T-mobile customers
Disclaimer:
I DID NOT CREATE THIS PROGRAM
I just put it in a taxi
Thank you so much! I've been looking for this forever, never found one that works. This one works perfectly, thank you again.
edit: For the record, I'm using Miri's 3.0 version of his Manila 2.1 ROM.
The app showed up but it was unable to retrieve any info about acct.
maybe i can help

thanks
@humble
I've don't think there's a T-Mobile UK ROM at the moment - you can only buy the TP2 on T-Mobile through a 3rd-party company right now as T-Mobile don't sell it over here yet.
Many thanks for looking into it, I'd really appreciate a UK version.
Not working on a Dutch Stock ROM. T-Mobile Netherlands/Wifi off.

I installed your my account cab and it reads "Unable to retrieve account info".
I uninstalled, soft reset and reinstalled it to try again but it does not work
I can't think of anything why it would not work.
Thinking........
Does the My Account program use the SIM card to call T-Mobile? Maybe something is missing from my SIM.....like a number??? My SIM card has the #646# (Check my minutes) and (check text usage)... Does the My Account use that?
Thanks for your time and help! I just wished it would work.

No problem,
One way to find out.. If its your SIM or not... Flash to another ROM and see if MyAccount works.. Use any one, mine or his there basically the same(i extracted mines from the dump of my phone).... Just my taxi was a little faster
