Newbie M5000 advice/roms/updates/etc

Like a lot of new M5000 users, a lot of the posts on here are quite confusing, so I'll list my queries all in one post.
It seems the M5000 is the HTC Universal, but on the inside of the unit it says 'HTC Innovation'. Is this the same model, and if it is then it's presumably safe to follow the HTC Universal topics?
My M500 had the option to hard-reset, then soft-reset immediately, to save the programs in the extended rom from loading, is there a similar facility for the M5000, and if so, is there a list of the extended rom programs anywhere (like the M500 cab list, that tells you what cab is what program, and what you need to install)?
Again, there seems to be a few roms floating about, but they refer to iMate, etc. Is there a decent upgraded rom for the M5000, or is it safe to flash an Orange M5000 with, say, the iMate rom, for better performance?
Sorry for the questions, but I've trolled the forum a lot in the past 2 days, and things can get a little confusing, without actually giving a definate answer to new M5000 users (trolled it enough to know not the ask about M5000 unlocking )
Thanks in advance.

Geez I had written a lengthy reply but it was eaten by one of those many 'database error' server crash... anyway, I'm a newbie too but i"ll give it a shot:
- Yes your m5000 is a universal.
- Yes hard then soft reset is a valid option to stop all the extra stuff from installing, but you might miss on some performance tweaks and other bits from your operator. Also don't forget to write down your connection settings before you hard reset.
- Using another operator rom on your phone is theoretically possible but AFAIK it has many drawbacks and requires an unlocked phone. See the Modaco forums or buzz's site for more info.
Good luck, and don't forget to share your findings!

v1640 help for newbie !

Hi,
Im a newbie to the Universal and im hoping you seasoned veterans can help me out with a few questions.
I have had my v1640 for just over a week now. After a frozen screen problem followed by having to do a hard reset
on the first day of owning it i have been reading through lots of this forum's very usful pages.
I got my v1640 as i initailly wanted a 02exec as an improvement (in terms of pda functionality) from my sony p910i.
After attempting to cancel vodafone contract they matched the o2 package and gave me the phone for free !
My questions are as follows:
1 - I have read lots of info about the various ROms available for the 'universal', where does the vodafone ROM stand
in terms of speed, features etc compared to the others?
2 - do i get different software from each different rom and is it 'ok' to run a different ROm eg o2 rom on a 'voda' v1640
I am ideally looking for a ROM that is as fast as possible and includes pocketMSN (messenger and hotmail) i can then add additional
software for the other things i need the unit to do (tom tom etc) Is this possible?
thanks for your help !!

any ideas?? anyone?

All the operators seem to offer slightly different s/w as standard. If you like what's there, great, but if you want to get rid of it, you need to hard reset the device then soft reset it before the operator s/w is loaded. Search this forum for details.

No, it's not - it's piracy (another word for stealing and don't let anyone try to tell you otherwise).

PocketMSN is only about USD$15 or so iirc, take a look on Microsoft's website. There are also alternatives, such as Agile Messenger for a similar nominal price. TomTom requires you have a GPS unit (hardware). Again, it's a commercial software package, so if you "find" it free, it's theft.

Help!!! bought HTC Trinity Black - Tottenham court road!

PAYG or Contract?

Ok, so you are fairly new to this forum. So I wont respond as harshly as I intended to. Why don´t you put a description of what you are looking for in your topic title, and do not make it look like a cry for serious help? A clear topic title will help us to ignore a topic for which we have no interest or answer.

Need Vodafone UK Contract settings - Apologies gentlemen
Okay guys, sorry for not making the title clear in the first post I am relatively new to forums in general. I need the Vodafone UK contract (MMS, Internet, WAP settings). I have searched for hours but to no avail; I can just about get WAP settings but not internet or MMS settings working. I did get all this right on my Sony Ericcsson P990i but finding it really hard for a complete setup on the Trinity, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was wondering if somebody may have unlocked the extended ROM on the Tytn (qtek 9100 i think?) and maybe pulled the CAB file and whether this would work on the Trinity?
Even a good manual setup guide would be fantastic - perhaps if we collated all the available info then we construct a good guide for most UK networks?

Try this attachment.
Copy to your PPC and run it. Hopefully it will contain all your required settings.

Many Thanks
Thank you very much it works a treat. I just just need to change some registry settings so I can use Vodafone Live, seen thread somewhere so will check it out, looking forward to installing PVplayer and streaming away.

Would you mind letting me know how much you paid. I am looking for one and wondered if I should have a look down TCR?

How to select more that one recepient in the contacts while sending sms
Hello friends & seniors,
This is a problem I am facing while sending SMS to my friends. The problem is that each time I can select only one contact at a time. I mean if I want to send SMS to more than one person I will have to select one by one not like Nokia & sony mobile phones where you can check the contacts more than one..I hope I have made myself clear..

Hello everbody again. This is concerned with the ROM updation of Orange SPV 3100. I want to know is there any WM6 rom available for the same model. Is there any issues as to to the upgradation of this PPC from WM5 to WM6. My front camera is not working becoz there is no 3G in my country. Is there any way to turn it on? Moreover is there any harm of softreset the Device. I mean till date I have soft reset my device for 68 times. I dnt know why I have to soft reset it but the performance is very low. Is there any way to increase the performance of PPC. My WM5 is not stable & shows lot of glitches.

Anybody Plz reply
So any Senior have suggestion as respect to above asked question..I am really looking forward for you response Seniors.

problems with m3100
i myself have an m3100, unlocked and super cid. This meand i can flash and rom onto it. I also have hardSPL, which i think almost makes bricking impossible.
I would suggest you install hardSPL and make your devide super cid, by searching this site, then upgrade to windows mobile 6. There are many versions of it available, but the best i have used is probably TNT for its large free ram. This may solve your softresetting problem. I however soft reset every few hours purely to keep ym device running smoothly, and to undo the memory leakage [which is basically when programs use memory, then when they close, some of the memory they use isnt freed up, and over time this builds up, until you soft reset]
also i would install oxios close apps [google for oxios] after you ahve installed wm6. Then map it to a hardware button. This basically frees up memory that has leaked, but isnt as good as soft resetting, but is a lot quicker, so a good compromise.
Hope i have helped another m3100 user

Thanx bro
Thanx mate,
But is WM6 better than WM5 I mean is it stable. What about turning front camera on man?

This is the place and glad to have you. It is nice that two other Jade Clone owners have signed in. Ideally, I'd like to see all of us sign in and give others some details on what kind of experiences they bring to our community. That way if you ever see another post by a fellow Clone owner, you could come back to this thread and look up that person to see or refresh your memory about their background.

Good to have you onboard - your repair knowledge may come in very handy. On some of the different HTC sub Forums here, there are Wikis with how to dissassemble and repair phones. Since our Clones are most likely slightly different from the standard HTC Jade phone, your experience may lead to further knowledge along that line.
In several other threads here in the Jade sub Forums, other Clone owners have asked about replacing digitizers, GPS attennas and so forth. You might be able to take the lead on those questions if you're willing to experiment.
Slightly off topic - my brother bought a Blackstone Clone after seeing mine. Unfortunately his Clone did not come with a stand-alone charger which means the phone is the charger. We looked on eBay but as far as I can tell the Blackstone Cradle's charging posts are off about the width of its points. In the attached picture, you can see that contact points are in the utmost corner.
The Blackstone Clone's battery contact points would be to the left of the charger posts - we believe. I was wondering if a small bar could be placed between the points to make contact and allow the charging current to the battery. It would have to be a small sliver and heat resistant. Do you think something could be done and if so what would you recommend?

Wow, two Canadians in one day! I just answered a post in another xda Forum about a Canadian who is on Fido.
Take a look at this iGO8 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587989
iGO8 works on our Jade Clones. I should be done posting the game plan by Monday and can entertain questions there.
I should add that there were some major announcements on Wednesday 11/25 about the DimkaVert skin. D8389 (Dimka) has announced that he will no longer be developing the original skin. Instead he will make limited (Potentially untested) changes to the diMkaWertVRV base which may or may not flow through into the full diMkaWertVRV version at WertVRV's discretion. Megaduck posted that he will continue to work on his version with Specter. See:
http://www.igo8mods.com/dimka.htm
I don't use this skin as I prefer Gurjon 6p but I try to keep up on all things iGO8.

I don't even know if my clone will arrive before Xmas (sad).

Hmmm, I don't think I've seen a Jade Clone called a EQU5238 before. I looked at your PDF and EQU5238 comes up searchable on the net. You've got a lot of extra software loaded on yours by the vendor. I like many of the SB titles as well as SK Tools and PHM Registry Editor.
Your SPB Shell program probably gives your Clone more of the TouchFlo 3D that many users buy their Clones for. I liked mine seeing that blue background with the analog clock and was disappointed that that theme was not automatically present.
Looks like you have yours tricked-out nicely!
