I cannot install GPRS Monitor from myO2 CD, it says i need to update my ROM, i did a corporate install btw
Anyone else had any probs?
Another forum member had this same problem when installing the ClearVuePDF Reader also supplied by o2 as part of the HTC application suite. He has the MDA, but flashed with the o2 Exec ROMs and then installed in Corporate mode.
From work we did together, it appears to be just the install program that was not validating his device. When I tried a hard-reset and Corporate mode install, I had no problems installing. However, its beginning to look as though a hard-reset does not totally clear the Exec's memory. In his case, I found all the individual files and registry settings needed for ClearVuePDF to run and he copied those to the device. Runs perfectly for him like that.
So I'm afraid you'll have to find somebody with the o2 version of GPSMonitor installed and get them to determine all the files/locations and registry-settings needed to get it to run. Unfortunately I don't have a GPRS connection or GPRSMonitor installed.
Just a thought. Have you yet tried a full o2 Personal mode install on your device? It just might be this action that puts 'something' in memory that is not cleared by a hard-reset, and that 'something' might be what the install program is looking for.
Sorry that I can't be more helpful.
No problem thanks for your help

I did a basic install and I get the same error. Sorry, Not much help though.

Me too. The ClearVuew PDF reader is rubbish! Text misalighed all over - Adobe with pixel doubling is better than this.
Please try this
Could one of you having a problem to install the o2 supplied GPRSMonitor, please try installing the attached .CAB after copying it to your device.
This CAB is extracted from the CD-ROM install program, so hopefully skips the validation stuff. With luck you might be able to get around the failed validation by installing from this CAB.
Note: Even if asked to install to Storage Card, the o2 supplied version (2.3.0 build 600) puts very little there, most goes into device memory. The current version 2.41 from spb will obey the instruction to install to SD-Card, but wasn't reliable when run from there - the monitoring part aborted four times in 10-minutes whilst I was playing with it.
Unfortunately, since I don't have the install problem, I can't test this install out.
It works a treat. Thanks muchly!

Am I glad about that - I was in the midst of trying to locate all the files/registry entries needed for a manual install.
Perhaps I can go to bed now! :wink:
I also managed to 'locate' another copy and it works fine, thanks for all the help.

I can confirm this but with other files. After several hard resets (even with the clear storage icon), the pictures I had taken were still there.

Ouch! I didn't realsie it was as bad as that.
The situation is made worse by the backup program I'm using (Sunnysoft Backup Manager) not backing up all the data and settings. Neither does it perform a true restore - just merges the backup with what's there after the hard-reset.
Unfortunately, I'm used to HP's backup applet from the Jornada 928; which performed a total backup/flush restore. Are there any other applets for WM5/universal that really performs a full backup/restore?
Does anyone have this cab please? I have just bought a new O2 exec and am having the same problem with it saying my ROM version is too old!!
sorry ignore that post! Work computer blocked the file out
I am running my XDA EXEC in basic mode. When I tried copying the .cab file to my device and running it from there , still get the problem.
Any suggestions ?
I was running personal mode then switched to basic mode, could this cause the problem.
Thanks for you replies in advance.
Cannot remove GPRS monotr app
I installed this file to test it out om M3000. Unfortuntely I cannot seem to uninstall it now! It doesnt show up in my Program list - How do you uninstall it?
I looked in the \\windows folder and removed all files and shoretcuts I could find, but its still showing up on my 'today' screen with an error.
Any ideas? The registry?
Cheers

Linuxgeek:
I was also getting the ROM version problem installing programs to my SD card on my O2 exec. Since I'd only just added the card and was running the basic installation, I did the following:
1) Hard reset
2) Personal Install
3) Re-install ActiveSync on PC
This did the trick. Thankfully I like the Personal install best anyway, but I don't know if that step was necessary.
Tried it. Still get the problem :-(
My mistake - I managed to install the Clearvue PDF program, not the GPRS monitor program. I'm still getting the ROM version error with the GPRS monitor program, but I've not tried the above download yet.
Anyone got any other ideas to fix this problem.
Shame O2 don't have an update to fix this problem on their website.
I've now tried the CAB posted above by astage and I can confirm it worked for me. Just copy the CAB to your device and then open it to start the install.
Hi,
I'm really tired of debranding my MDA pro after a hard-reset and I would like to do the following:
-delete everything on my device (use the extended rom unlocker to unlock)
- install a "fresh" WM5
- configure the system
- create a complete backup of the system like the Norton-Ghost in the pc-world
Is that possible, and if so, how?
Where can I get a clean version of WM5?
Has anyone of you already done so?
How can I create a complete backup of the system?
I know that are a lot of questions and I'm thankful for every hint
C ya,
Elias
Shame on T-Mobile for the annoying branding!!!

I believe you can achieve this from the provided ROM itself by unlocking then deleting the ExtROM followed by a hard reset. You can then use other hacks from this site to delete or replace the splash screen and etc... to clean it up some more.
surely if you delete the extended rom and then do a hard reset the system wont work as youll be missing the majority of the installation, there are Cooked ROMS on the FTP site which people have created which I guess you can try at your own risk. I tried to remove all of the tmobile branding but found that they'd tied in some of crucial configuration after the branding process so when I soft booted before rebranding the XDA was only half complete... I too would like a good clean install without branding, unfortunatley I have to use the tmobile rom with its gay pink colours so that I can use their blackberry client.?

There are various programs out there that allow you to make a backup of your phone. Currently, I'm using BackupManager which generate an EXE files that you can save into your SD card such that you can restore your phone without having to reinstall the backupsoftware itself. I know that there are better software out there you can use. I think they call it phone clone or something, which uses your pc to store and clone the phone.

I have relatively the same problem, that my phone doesn't support MMS. However, if you were to extract the ext rom (by any means) to get the CAB files within, you can choose which to install or not. I think you pretty much need to guess what each of them means.
Thank you for your answers
I think I'm gonna try the backup-manager.
Now I wll start another post "Avoid T-mobile branding by install Jasjar or Dopod-ROM?"
Blank screen of writing a new text message on 818pro.
Is there anyone can help? There will have no problem after hard reset, it seems one of the programs causes this problem. But does anyone know the reason? Is it memory insufficient?

This reminds me of something yes. Could you please do these things and reply with answers to my questions ?
a) How much space do you have remaining on your device (how much free ram) ?
b) Go to Start -> Settings -> Installed Software or hows it called (the place where you see what software is installed) and tell me if the list is still there. Do you see your installed programms in the list or is it empty ?

c) Can you uninstall or install new software ? Please test with some small CAB file on your device.

Hello Spatzm,
Thanks for your reply.
a) 23.85MB RAM left
b) ce-star suite v2.8 r2a
c) yes, i can uninstall and install new software.
--> this problem exists right after I sync the data and then press soft reset button. Is this the point? because whenever I press reset button, the SMS I wrote disappear even my pda has been just done a hardreset.

Probably a ROM issue then. If you recall my reply above with the few questions. I initially had in mind that you might run into the security stuff (certification messup) issue but this is not the case.

You have the answer right there. The registry is only written back periodically. After doing any changes you should not quickly follow up with a soft reset otherwise any new information will be lost. At the very least switch off and on again before doing a soft reset. This is not a ROM fault it is simply that writes to the registry are not carried out immediately.

Hello Mike,
Thanks alot for your explaination. The data cannot be written immediately, so that should not press soft reset button right after a SMS (text msg) is written. This question is answered well.
However. My main problem is why the SMS writing page became blank and never recover until a hardreset? I had this problem after sync PIM and then pressed soft reset button.
scott4, nice to meet u Do u come from HK?
I have the same problem before...
At that time , I used AKU2.? (forget XD) and ce-star too!!!
After hard reset for about a week.....the problem will appear again= =
SO i always reset -> blank -> reset -> blank -> loop....
until I upgrade my 818pro to 2.3, ...
and I don't use ce-star again....since it always hang= =
firstly i use monster chinese...but i found that the font is very ugly.....
so at last , i don't use monster chinese anymore, I only copy mingliu font from my winXP, and edit the registry to let my 818pro can read chinese....
Also , I download the Chinese input method from monster website, but without using monster XDDD
I don't know it's the problem of AKU? or ce-star? or just i'm very lucky.......
I want to upgrade to AKU3.3 too!!! many people say that it's very fast when you compare 3.3 to 2.3.........i wanna try it~>< But now....I'm afraid the SMS blank problem will appear again= =XD
it's the problem of cestar, i used to have the same problem with cestar installed, after uninstall it the problem was gone
Hola to all:
I need help. I have installed in my Qtek S200 the program SKINVODAFONE .
It has changed the format of screen of the telephone (menu to mark when we realize a call) and it has put it that of Vodafone.
I would like to change again the format of this screen to which it had in a principle, the standard format .
Thank you very much for your help and HAPPY YEAR!!!.
Try going to Start->Settings->System->Remove programs and uninstalling the program.
If that doesn't work you may need a hard reset, but then you will loose all you data.
Thanks levenum , but it already had tried it.
To do a hard-reset is the only thing that happens to me also, but what he would need to avoid the hard-reset is the program that installs the original screen or standard of the Qtek frees.
Certainly , I am not the only one interested in changing this screen to Qtek's original screen, in the Spanish forum also he has been interested.
One more thought:
There should be a Qtek extended ROM on the FTP. One of the cabs there should have the dialer installation.

On the FTP... excuse but that it is the FTP?
That you want to say, that should install the standard EXT-ROM? But then would it lose all the information and installed tricks, not?
FTP - File transfer protocol. Mainly describes the server on which XDA holds different version of ROM for HTC/QTEK devices.
And yes, you should install the standard EXT ROM. You need to do a full back up and then restore your data not to loose existing data. Your device will be wiped!!
I would strongly suggest to think twice before installing a new ROM if you are a novice.
Just my .02cts
Hold on just a minute.
No need for drastic measures yet.
This is the link to the FTP: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com
You can access it with IE or any other FTP capable browser or client.
User name: xda
Password: xda
You do not need to reinstall all of the ext ROM or format your device. All you need is to look for the cab file that installs the Qtek dialer (I assume Qtek ROMs do not use standard Win Mobile dialer, the ugly blue thing).
Copy this cab to your device and run it like a regular program installation.

You need to type it like this ftp://xda:[email protected] or select 'Log in as...' from the file menu.
You should really do a Google search and read up on how to use ftp.
I had quick look and there don't seem to be cabs in the prophet section, but look around, a cab from another devices, like wizard (don't remember it's Qtek name) should do, since this is just a dialer.

As far as i know the qteks use the ugly blue dialer (standard microsoft item + smartdialer)
Juan what exactly is wrong with your dialer - a screen shot would be helpful.
btw no need for caps in your title - it appears like your shouting
Hmm, well there is always ZenPhone, they have some nice skins...

Hi levenum - i think the vodaphone dialer has messed up the layout of his dialer - your tip it may work

That's what I figured from the posts too, so i guessed installing any 3rd party dialer should work.
Perhaps then if he uninstalled it the phone would default back to the 'ugly blue'

I upgraded my Blueangel to windows mobile 6 a couple of days ago, yesterday i was reset it. when it powered on i have the windows mobile 6 screen and nothings happens thereafter, it is not connection to activesync and i m not able to ROM Upgrade.
Please help me ASAP
read the wiki carefully
try a hard reset after and do the no+yes+yes ritual in the hard reset.. it should worked...

adri
baybe it is because third party software you installed, it happened to me with the touchflo which replaced the touch.dll with another one for another device, also with HTC Plus today plugin
I had it after installing VBAR... you have to reset it and press the record and camera button, then clear the registry HIVE and press the mail button... it will be hard resetted but in wm6 you don't lose any data, just some settings and cabs...
Yeah, I got this problem too a few days ago.. annoying...
When I tried to back up my data using Sunnysoft backup manager, BA had to restart, and then it stuck in the WM6 page... ended up clearing the whole thing again using the no yes yes option...BA was able to start up on safe mode though... weird
I only had this problem once though....
Hmmm, interesting few people have this problems with different circumstances, however leading to the same problem...
is it really WM6 issue or is it 3rd party apps issue?

good question!
it just happened to me as well.... i had an almost fresh install of WM2006 (just downgraded, merged Extrom and upgraded again).
I installed some few cabs and eventhough it worked fine for a day, it then started to freeze while booting again and again....
i never had the problem before merging the rom though...
it happened to me also, after doing a soft reset using pbar. it ends up in the green screen with the microsoft logo without going any further. i've tried several soft resets after but it always ends up in that mode.
had to perform a hard reset and install my favorite apps again.
well maybe there are some incompatiblityes with those programs you mentioned, i have not use them my BA has the default apps (the posted cabs) Sprite Backup 6, Htc Home 1.5, Adobe Flash Lite and i have no problems at all

Use Home6 if you want to be able to modify the HTC Home tabs from 6 (default) to less than 6..... this is the only one working....
With Helmi_HTCHome6.. it also works, but cannot modify the tabs......
never tried the other one....
OK OK I had this problem and it solved it without losing data. First i tried to reset the device , like 30 times with no success. Even with a hard reset it didnt work. So you just Put ur device in the booloader mode and then soft reset it and voila. i dont know if it's really the correct solution but it worked for me for 3 times when i had that dumb WM6 screen. It's because of Battery status software ( 100% sure )

Can anyone tell us which third parties programs that cause the freezing or which are compatible whit WM6. To used or avoid them.
Hi,
same problem here. I just installed the cabs from helmi (Thanks again!), the HTC Home (Helmi_HtcHome6_WM5_comp_sdkcert.cab), Acrobat reader and powerpoint (out of this cabs in the first message in the central BA6 Thread) and no additional software. I've re-installed it two times, but that doesn't help .
@ Xeon: Maybe a good work-around, I will give him a try,
UPDATE: @ XEON: Doesn't work for me
regards
Andreas
OK im again facing the same problem it seems my solution didnt work. As far as it seems to, i had to soft/hard reset more than 20 times to solve it. i dont get it. when i reset it the problem is still bla bla bla.. but when u leave it stuck for 10 mins and then reset it , it will work. the point is that after all , u dont need to format/clear registry. All u need is to keep trying. WEIRD [email protected]#[email protected]$#$
I keep having the problem after installing a new cab with a soft reset. The only way to get out of the WM6 screen is to go into bootloader and a soft reset. Just like Xeon said. However, I don't think it is the battery issue because if I just do a normal soft reset, it starts up fine. The problem arrives only when a soft reset is required to finish an installation from cab.
