Hi developers,
first of all I'd like thank you for your excellent work. I used a couple of roms and really appreciate your efforts.
This time I updated my device from WM 2003 (4.00.01 ENG, Radio 4.21.00) to the T-Mobile release whitout radio update, posted in this forum by Aurora13. After a backup of my data and removement of the T-Mob. stuff like suggested by Aurora13, I noticed that my backlight was turned of and I couldn't turn it on again either.
So I tried to downgrade again, because working without backlight really is a pain, by I'm unable to.
Not depending on which ROM I use, I get the message: "error getting device data" (CMD.exe) & "execute remote communication program error" (prog. a 1.09).
My active sync (WinXP) seems to work.
The device & telefone seems to work either.
How can I fix this?? Any suggestions?? I'd really like to go back to 4.00.01!!!!
Thanks in advance!!!
If you restored your applications from a former version of WME 2003 you will see this happen. I don't know what registry setting or file is getting changed but after a restore from say 4.00.01 or 4.00.05 backups (I use SPrite Backup) you will see this phenomenum occur after a soft reboot no backlight. Do a hard reset and resinstall your applications and all will work fine.
error in CMD.exe window after T-Mob 4.00.10 update
Hi developers,
I have similar problem, I’d like to go back to 4.00.005 too.
Using the ROMkitchen_4.00.05.exe, in the CMD.exe window I got an error message:
“error: GetConnectionType – An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
error getting connection”
My activesync seems to be working properly.
What has gone wrong? How do I fix it?
Thanks in advance
Experienced the same with the backlight.
So NEVER do a restore from a different ROM!!! Alway do a clean install.

So in plain words: how do I do that when this occurs during the flashing-procedure :

It's not only the backlight, the problem is the "execute remote communication program error" which makes flashing the ROM impossible .
I used do update with *.exe-files which won't work out anymore :evil: . Can anybody post a step by step guide how to fix it and go back to the ROM before :? (Which would obviously be the best)?
Or does anybody know which registry key has to be changed to fix the backlight :idea: ?
Thanx!!!
Does it work OK after a hard reset?
Because you shouldn't have to go back, do a hard reset and do a clean install of your apps and 4.00.10 should work ok.
Thanx Aurora13,
it now seems to work !
I'm on 4.00.10 again with all the T-Mob. stuff and backlight working.
In my case, going back to 4.00.01 and restoring my backup seems to be less time consuming than doing a clean install (would loose adress book & calendar).
I actually can't spot a lot of differences besides the version numbers in the OS anyway :? .
:evil: But trying to do that, I still have the same problem with the cmd.exe:
“error: GetConnectionType – An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

Seems to me like a serious bug that I can't flash my ROM with the USB-cradle anymore :x .
Anybody any suggestions how to get rid of this OS-version without SD-card-writer?? I'd really like to have evrything working again like it was before!
Thanks a lot in advance!!!
Most importantly: do not upgrade to a T-Mobile ROM 900/1900 MHz (American) ROM on anything but a 900/1900 MHz phone. The T-Mobile ROMS contain the RSU phone upgrade, which will run as soon as WinCE boots. You will ruin your 900/1800 (European/Asian) phone if you do.

Could that be the problem that I'm unable to fllash my ROM again?

What does that mean?
"What does that mean?"
i suspect it means that your xda will only work in US
untill you find some way to flash it back to the 900/1800 gsm mode
which is used in EU and much of the rest of the world [/quote]

Only via XDArit?????????
if it can be flashed using the sd flash card and you have an sd flash card reader / writer for the pc it would be possible

T-Mobile update 4.00.10 sucks!!!
@reiggue
4.00.10 does not suck.
The problems you are experiencing are not real problems but a lack of knowledge on your side.
If you asked how to solve them I can help you to solve EACH one. But you are not asking, but only being negative.
As with all ROMs if you don't know what you are doing, then don't do it.
If you read this forum more securely, you already got answers of a few of your problems:
- How to go back to an old ROM
- Removing the TMobile stuff
- Backup of previous version does not work
All the answers of the above and how to solve them you can find in this forum.
So use the knowledge of the people of this forum and don't be so negative.
I want to second Aurrora13's statement. Over and over in this forum it is stated that you should not attempt these ROM updates if you don't have an SD reader. Sometimes it is the only way to save your bacon (XDA)! If a user insists on ignoring sound advice, then he shouldn't complain about suffering the consequences.
In general, the more experienced users on this forum provide good advise and are more than willing to ehlp others. Personally, I think this forum is awsome!
We all know we are taking risks but being techno-junkies we jump in there trying to improve our XDA's and learn more about its capabilities and ways to improve it. I hope when the next majore WME phone becomes available (I'm hoping for the TI WANDA, though XDA II will probably be first) that we are able to do the same with it.
4.00.10 user wanted to revert back to old rom
You need to use SD card reader to revert back to older rom, Activesync doesn't work properly in windows, even you had sync with your windows.
I had the same problem before, but I found out this 4.00.10rom is more stable then others WM2003roms.
Please follow Aurora13 instruction,removing a few item under program/AIM -/Tmobile and if you have radio signal problem You might want to try to bootloader setting 900/1800 or 900/1900, it works for me.
This is my second time flashing v4.00.10 and I'm using XDA asian unit.
Good Luck.
:lol:
@Aurora13
You might be right in me being negative.
As I read through the forum, there are other people experiencing the same problems.
I think that people should be warned to use the 4.00.10 version instead of hyping it, because, you might agree on that, you loose the ability to go back to an old ROM via activesync, which is the most convenient procedure so far.
I didn't know that I lose this ability, especiallly after performing 4 successfull ROM-updates so far with ROM from this site. That in fact frustrated me.
I agree that the information provided in this forum should help restoring the old ROM.
To close this message, I'd like to thank everybody in this forum who contributes to help fools like me, obviously not knowing what they're doing! This forum is great and I don't want anybody to get the impression I'm blaming anybody else for my faults.
Thanx!
imho then buying a SD reader is a pretty good idea no matter what
they come in versions which read 6 or 7 different flash types so one can also read ones digi cams card if it's a different type
and they are only about 50$ or EUro or something like that
i'm sure getting 2->3 flash readers one of these days
@reiggue
Yep this forum rules big time.
If you check the Sticky thread:
http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1624
There is already enough warnings for the 'beginner', that's why I didn't warn it can be dangerous.
But enough said, good luck with your downgrade and/or if you will stay with the 4.00.10 ROM I'll be glad to help solving some problems you may experience or talk you through the downgrade.
I appreciate your assistance, Aurora13!
Thanx! :lol:
For those of you in the UK - I bought an SD card reader (only reads SD and MMC cards) from PC World for only £6.99 - I've used it to change ROMS back and fourth several times on four XDA's without incident so far - I bought it after an activesync update (genuine O2 upgrade) went horribly wrong and trashed my XDA. I think that everyone "playing" with these ROMs should get one.
I've got a strange one. When upgrading to just about any WM2003 ROM, I get an error stating "This program only works with Windows Mobile 2003 - 4.20.1081".
This doesn't happen with the Rogers R.30.07, but I've got another issue with that one, when using the phone dialer, or configuring it, my device does a soft boot. I can't get it to work at all.

Just goto the \WINDOWS\STARTUP and delete from there the Shortcut named "wm03hotfix" you wont see this windows on startup again unless you hard reset your device again.
or try to cook a new rom
just flashing it again.....

i have 1 question
how about Rogers R.30.07 rom.... i didn't try to flsah it..... what's problems with Roger's rom ? better than A30.09 ? or not
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.
Daz
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.

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 send my first W2003SE application.
This is a free application (it's a beta version written in c#, and requires .NET CF) and is capable to detect a change in the phone owner identity via the next comprobations:
- The user can be configure a list of preferred SIM Cards
If the inserted SIM card is not any of the owner preferred sims the application send's a sms to a configured phone (including a configured text and the SIM identifier of the inserted card)
[Obviously, the application sends the message without prompt for user msessage send confirmation and not stores the sms at the outlook tray's]
[obviously, if the new user inserted sim is a prepay sim and the credit was 0, none sms is sended]
Additionally, the application show's (if configured) a balloon notification.
- The application test (if configured) the value of the Owner identity and if changed sends a sms and / or shows a notification...
Please, test and send me your comments...
regards
Also tested it for WM05?

hello,
1) i have showed 2 threads in this forum about this problem.
one works with owner data but no with sim data, and another works with the sim, but the user is obly to store a special number at the sim ownered numbers list (i don't have tested any).
this application works with owner user data and stores the valid sim identifiers in a configuration file.
2) in my opinion, the correct usage is:
a) install the application
b) c9nfigure settings
c) copy the application and the configuration file at the rom
in this case, a hard reset is not a problem, ok ?

Hi there!
Just got my brand new Prophet (Qtek S200) and I already have a problem.
Everytime I try to uninstall any installed application there's a message stating that the application wasn't completely removed.
As it happens I always have to delete by hand all the registry entrys as well as the folders that were created during the instalation of said program (it happens with almost all!).
I've tried SK tools with no luck.
Anyone help!?
TIA
BTW: There's no problem with the SD card and this also happens when I try to Re-install or upgrade an application.
Hallo my Friend,
I have the same problem with my I-mate Jamin. This seems to be a kwown bug in some WM5 ROMs, like the Italian one installed on my device.
After a few e-mails the I-mate support team had to acknowledge that: the are selling a device with a faulty operating system.
The issue seems to have been fixed in the latest versions of WM5 (those based on the so-called AKU2), but alas, no Italian ROM is available for those versions.
I hope the situation is more rosy for Portuguese ROMs. No need to say that the behaviour of the I-mate support team was utterly deceptive to me.
Good luck! Andrea

This has hapened to me also with my Qtek S200 WWE.
But if I soft reset my device and once it boot's up (after quite some time :evil: ) I unistall whatever I need to uninstall, then it works just fine.
I have also noticed that by using "Freeup Ram" (part of SKTools) then I'm able to unistall without problems.
