Help, Loaded T-Mobile ROM now cannot go back to SX56

I did a cooked rom in one of the kitchens using a T-mobile ROM. I don't like the look or feel, don't have a linux machine so cannot use the special edition ROM.
My problem is my backup is corrupt and now I have created a new ROM in the yorch.net kitchen and downloaded Siemens ROM from their site and when I go to install it it says my SX 56 is not connected even though I look at active sync and everything works fine.
What can I do? :?:

You need to slow down and be more descriptive. Yorch does not have ATT's ROM on his site. How did you upgrade? Did you use an .exe or the OSToolset or the SD Card method? Take it one step at a time. How did your backup get corrupted?

I used the T-mobile or yorch's site to cook a new rom, I have been trying to unlock the phone and thought maybe that would give me something that the unlocker would work with.
I upgraded with an .exe
I backed up to an SD Card and when I shutdown my laptop while on the road some security program andjusted the file son the card so now I cannot restore.
I have tried using another ROM from the kitchen and the one from Siemens website upgrade and both times when I try to install I'm told there is no connection to my laptop. But I can see active sync working and saying it's connected.

Just get the 3.02 ROM from the kitchen, use the OSToolset to put it on an SD Card, and install it using the SD Card method. You won't need to have an active connection to your computer then.

Where do I find a kitchen with that rom for the ATT SX56?
I cannot access Jeff's & Yorch's site only has the newer T-Mobile and the PPC2003.

You will not find the Original SX56 ROM by itself. If you want to go back, download the old O2 3.02 ROM, install it, and then run the newest ROM upgrade from ATT.

I can use the O2 rom on a 900/1900 system? excuse me for my ignorance, but I don't want to fry my machine as this is my third one and I really want this one to work, long story.

As long as you don't update the radio stack of your device you are pretty much free to try any ROM you want. However, the intention is NOT to use the O2 ROM for anything other than having an old ROM on your device that the SX56 ROM you download from ATT will recognize as updatable. Hence, you will be able to put back the SX56 2002 ROM. As always, anything you do is at your own risk.

Thanks, I got it working and sombody gave me an image of the XDA developer rom for my unit and now it is unlocked and works great.

PocketMSN and RealVGA: How to make it work???

hi.
I use the programm ozvga to get realvga on the HTC universal.
but everytime I get to the realvga modus pocketmsn disappears. it really does. no hotmail account anymore, no today plugin, no settings. nothing.
when i go back to the normal VGA modus via ozvga it appears again as normal.
I don't know why. so why?
is there a possibility to make it work? tweak, registry?
thx.

do you guys not have the problem or don't use ozvga?
no one an idea?

I can't get ozvga to run properly at all on my MDA at the moment, which ROM are you using?
When I apply OzVGA my icons across the top disappear, and other icons appear oddly (wrong place etc).
Just tried MSN in this screwed-up realVGA mode, the result is
It don't start!
My rom is:
1.20.32 wwe
1.06.00 radio
42.40.P8 Protocol
TMobile EXTRom 1.20.120

hi,
i use the latest english imate rom. but it also works with the german t-mobile rom and the german qtek roms and i guess every rom available.
i downloaded it from the ppc-welt.info forum ( http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showpost.php?p=605676&postcount=93 ) and put all files but the cab and the programm itself to the windows directory.
than copy the cab to the temp folder and a shortcut of the programm to the starmenu.
then install the cab and go to realvga modus. mine always worked with this.
here is the file:

QTEK ROM

I would like to flash my mda vario with the qtek rom, to solve the issue with the device resetting itself due to having a sd card installed, and to generally speed things up etc. I have visited the wizard ftp site on here, and navigated to the qtek folder, but there are about a million files listed. I am currently a UK user running an mda vario with t-mobile. Which file should I use? Once I have the correct file how do I then install it to my device? After the update will I be able to restore my previous files and settings with my SPB backup file?
Thanks!

as a newbie myself maybe i can lend you a hand.
first of all...in order for you to flash your mda to other rom, you need to sim and cid unlock ur phone. then you download the latest ROM with WWE to your desktop.
connect your wizard to your pc via activesync 4.1, make sure your device is fully charge at all time. after you have sim/cid unlock ur phone, soft reset your device. then run the ROM exe file and follow on screen instruction.
before you start unlock and flasing ur phone, please use the search function and try to look for step by step instruction. thats wht i have done for a few days and manage to flash my mda vario with the latest qtek rom and a custom radio rom. cant say how happy i am with the phone now.

This is the latest qtek wwe rom ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wi...digy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
with spb backup no you will not be able to do a full restore because it will overwrite the registry etc..
Do a custom backup and tick all boxes except system data

Newbie question

Hi All
Nice to be here,have a newbie question I have just aquired an xda2 which I have successfuly sim unlocked and am using an Orange sim, is there anyway to de O2 the front end boot screens and also put in Orange wap ,fax and internet settings.
Cheers

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238217
Splash Image == bootscreen
wap and internet settings == settings which can always be changed by hand or cab file
fax == 3th party program

Cheers for that its a bit hard to follow,rom unlocker etc and cab files .I have a basic computer knowledge but struggle with some software and programming.One of the reasons I joined the forum was to learn my way around xda's because they are a useful piece of kit

if you by rom unlocker mean extended rom unlocker then
extended rom is kinda like a dir in normal windows pc which is
hidden and readonly
what the extended rom contain is cab files
cab files is installation files for pocketpc
when the device is started the first time all cab files in the extented rom are auto run and installed onto the device
p.s.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Himalaya <--- good read for a newbie in the world of windows mobile from htc

Thanks Rudegar
So the Extended Rom is a hidden parition is there a copy of the rom unlocker in the forum or can it be purchased from a site.The link you gave me looks interesting.I have a tour of night duty next week so I will get to grips with it then.
cheers

buzzdev.net have an unlocker
otherwise google would know too

i have the same problem when i upgraded from 2003 to wm6.1.
i tried many roms wm6 wm6.1 wm6.5 without benefit my device is i-mate hp10b

What ROM are you using? As stated above some ROMs have this problem and if you read through the threads of the ROM you are using then you might find the answer. I know that some cooks released .cab files to correct this problem since their ROMs have the problem you are having.
