Announcing XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.1

Version 1.1 of the Special Edition ROM is now out:
Fixed:
- Based on O2 3.17.03 ROM: annoying reply to SMS bug fixed
- Everyone can now use GPRS
- Pocket IE opens GPRS connection
- Serial ActiveSync now works
- Minor issues and cosmetics
New:
- Brand new version of dbView tool
- EzWAP2
- Our own band switch tool for US users, switch between all three bands
(no guarantee your hardware supports it, but at least you can now try)
This is now officially the coolest ROM for you, no matter where you live...
See the mkrom page for details on how to build this ROM (difficult), or wait for some kind soul to build the EXE, and just download and run it (easy).

Thanks a lot for your effort. I've really enjoyed the possibility to create my own ROM.
Is it possible to get a look on the source code of that welcome.exe app? So far it 's the only closed thing in your package.
thanks

XDA-developers ROM v1.1 installer
Thanks to Andre, who was online during the announcement and who sent me a message, I must have broken some speed records:
Click here to download a new and tested version of Special Edition ROM v1.1. Simply run the exe and presto...
This version fixes most if not all of the problems some people had with the 1.0 release. Thanks to the XDA-developers for doing such cool work, and for making their instructions easy to follow...

We're glad you appreciate it. That's what we work for...

The source is online: http://xda-developers.com/mkrom/welcome101-src.zip . The source for the welcome in the previous ROM was available too. Look at the mkrom page for details...
Let us know if you come across cool tricks we could incorporate in our ROMs too.

oh, to my previous post:
nevermind, my wish is granted, found the sources on the mkrom page.
thanks

update
jeff summers, you are a prince amongst men! Ta!

This is wonderful.
My PIE & ActiveSync over GPRS are now working well with this ROM + AT&T SX56 radion on my T-mobile USA device.
Thanks again XDA Developers, and Jeff for being so 'quick' with his help!
cheers,

Jeff you're like greased lightning!!! Well done to the boys and girls at xda-developers for this update, it seriously rocks!! MaxIreland and "guest" refered to a prog called sms-char-counter....
freeware tool written from a user at a german xda forum. it's an sms-char-counter

Any more genious people out there who know where to get this from?? I'll learn german if I have to! Maybe it would be a good addition to the next version of the ROM!!
Respect to you all at xda-developers.com

Hoorah, the SMS caller identity thing has been fixed

Thank you
thank you

OK silly question...
I am here in the uk...
Last time i tried to flash my xda with the radio upgrade i lost all functions on the device and had to send it back to the service centre to be repaired...
If i run the exe that has beed kindly created is there any chance of screwing up my device again!...
I would be running via USB and the docking station that came with the decive!..
I want to do this but am a little worried after the last incident!...

thx for your great work.
is there any "diff" tool for ce, so that i know what ezwap2.5 or other programs (like an sms-counter) are installing exactly for using with mkrom?
if i got you right, then i need all files installed and all registry-entries?
is there any install-tracker on ce?
Jabba

Two questions:
Is EzWap version 2.5 MMS or 2
When you say:
"- Everyone can now use GPRS"
What do you mean exactly by this ?
Because we have a serious problem with our local operator: they "upgraded" the GPRS system (by Erickson) last week, and since then, all GPRS on Pocket PC's stopped connecting. Is the new ROM the solution ?

ezwap 2.5 has got MMS

is there a program on the new ROM which can open pdf files instead of acrobat reader?

Thanks Jeff and you wonderfull developers, This ROM is great and I didn't have to mess arround in UNIX to install it.

thx man gonna try it soon !
installed it but the autoconfig still doesn't work on my xda ?

SMS-Counter Software to include in ROM
u'll find it here (german thread in forum):
http://www.ppc-welt-community.de/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21372&highlight=smscounter
Try it.... it sits as small programm in the taskbar naming "start" (because it's right over the start button).. it runs always... taking nearly no cpu-time. when u start to write a sms then it begins to count (like nokia).

BA-WM6 Who's Cooking?

i know the community would like to know who's cooking
and making the WM6 as flawless as possible.
(based on Helmi,
he quit the kitchen for that stealing issue and it's
all too bad for us. [] )
it's been a while and so many bugs have been seen...
we need to find a rom that is almost as good as it first flash
without the bugs.
anyone?
and where can we get your sample rom?
or is it just AKU that we're getting?
feedback is greatly appreciated.

From one of Helmi's posts:

Thanks again.
ooh yes.. sorry all about that text.. it not supposed to be there... I hv problem back then with hima guy who stole my work, well stolen artwork is happens all the time, but now I forget about that, I do it for the community not for that kinda of jerk shameless ashole, please ignore the text.. and again sorry that I include the text, it is not on purpose..
btw Hopes BA will hv AKU.0.7.0 soon...

First excuse me for my english.
There is no problem for replacing SYS part of kitchen. After some tests I changed Helmis kitchen and now I can relocate modules in kitchen with G'Reloc from misar ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331094 ). In my personal test ROM I have SYS from AKU 0.7 , but real problem is in drivers - still exist bugs with comm manager and turn on/off wifi and phone , I can't replace old sdbusdriver.
I have also too little knowledge for modyfing XIP section of ROM ( I think that some more advanced users can help us with it) .
How to import other sys to Blue Angel:
1. Read how to make kitchen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310287
2. Read grelock thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331094
3. Replace all modules in OEM part with normal dll-s ( simple g'relock incorrectly relocating some drivers modules , I'm too lazy for checking which exactly) .
4. Replace SYS ( carefully read GRelock thread )
5. Run G'Relock
Finally you have ROM with replaced SYS.

rom development can start with this?

who interesting I created new tool.
you can find it on my site http://cotulla.pp.ru/Misc.html "TSW TOOLS".

oh my god, that maybe the philosopher stone of the TG-01.
Some guy at MoDaCo posted how to bypass the operator cheking, now if we can encrypt/decrypt roms, the circle may be closed!

looks like mods have given up on TG01

the device is highly encrypted!
not the mods fault, but toshiba's near-sighted attitude.
their loss, i sold mine. dead device.

well all i can say if the tg01 is dying a death i do not give out much hope for toshibas TG02 thats going threw the fcc. plus apparantly theres a tg03 to come too.
i do not mind sticking till theres an update for it, maybe 1 or 2 more updates, windows mobile 7 would be nice tho too fingers crossed

New official toshiba update released.

got an email from toshiba new update from tg01,, no device so cant test

you have link??

just a repeat email...
I did download it but it is the same size file created on 26-1-2010

here is the txt from the email Toshiba are sending RE this
=========================================================
Hello,
If you currently have Windows Mobile® 6.1 or you upgraded to Windows Mobile® 6.5 before March 16th 2010, then why not download the latest TG01 Windows® phone update which will improve your device even further.

as stated = its the same update from March... I guess toshiba decided is was better to send all registered users an email, rather than (or, as well as) update their site to indicate there is a newer 6.5 ROM available... (ie site text still reads "check you're not already running 6.5")

This a old version update... right??

Every user who registered on Toshiba website may receive this mail... But it's not a fresh news...
Seems like Toshiba is messy... As usual I may say...
Since November5 stable rom I see no point to use Toshiba's...

[Q] Does anybody have the original imate pocket pc rom?

I wanted to downgrade my pocket pc os to it's original rom because the windows mobile 5 does not have a transcriber.thanks

Hello nfstanton,
I don't have any i-Mate ROMs, but would be willing to search if I know more about what you need. I bet the following information might help others want to help you...
Could you list the model name or number of your i-Mate?
Are you trying to downgrade to 2003 or 2002? With or without phone? What language ROM?
Any chance you know the ROM version number that you want?
Wishing you success.

ph10b windows mobile 2003..thanks

LOL - I see that is a hard to find ROM... HTC Worldwide doesn't even list the Himalaya on their Support page anymore. Other resources I checked don't have it in repository either.
One quick fix may be to Download the install package for Transcriber direct from M$. It is listed for WM 2002, but may work under WM 5.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...c3-2eee-41e3-9339-f7b303f4b386&DisplayLang=en
They have it in English, French and German...
Or
Here on xda I found an "All Himalaya WM 6.x ROMs" thread by user maggie
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379017
Lots of ROMs in multiple languages to choose from...
Some of the links might still be good... Maybe an Upgrade instead of a Downgrade??? Especially since WM 2003 is next to be phased out of support by M$.
P.S.: I'll still poke around looking for the WM 2003 a bit... Post back if either option above solves your problem so I don't keep searching needlessly.

Here is a Blog with info and working download link for a cooked version of WM2003 ROM which installs on all Himalaya... (It appears to be an English Language ROM)
http://softdown-guddu.blogspot.com/2009/09/alpine-wm2003-rom-11100-wwe.html
Another xda thread: "Genuine English WM2003 SE upgrade for Himalaya uploaded here"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=230279
Note that the files are attachments in the Original Post so you must be logged on to see them - if that doesn't work you may need 8 posts for full link status...
And a working download link for "himalaya_wm2003se_upgrade"

That's all from me unless you post back that you need more help.

Thanks
Thank You VERY MUCH for helping me You're like a angel sent from above i will never forget you

Yay!!!!
I'm glad you found an answer. Honestly, that post made my day. Thanks Bro.

There's a little problem
I'm having difficulty changing the operator in the WM2003 nbk and radio files..it says that i have to use command prompt and enter the words in the instructions so i entered them and it says that it doesn't recognize the syntax...How do you really change the operator ID of the ROM? Please elaborate the steps..if you can.Thanks

I'm honestly not up to speed on Radio Stacks... There is a large group of threads for your device here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=243
Or maybe try the xda wiki pages?
