Released: 3 UK Ext ROM

Find attached the Extended ROM of 3 UK.
Dont think that it's incomplete due to the small size, u ll find out that it contains several cabs.
I m sure many will find it usefull.
BTW i m still waiting someone's reply on how to dump a rom. I already tried few things with the tools mentioned in wiki but i m not quite sure if i m doing this right. I will really apreciate a feedback on this. Pls feel free to PM me...
Regards
Z£Y$

Many thanks mate. This is really appreciated. wish I could help with the rom dump but I am still learning myself. good luck with it.

Umm this is a slightly modded version that does NOT remove the wireless section from the today screen as the original does, and adds a few freeware apps that I use every day. The apps being:
Tcpmp
Total Commander
PS Shut XP
HTC Xbutton
PHM Regedit
and RAR Archive manager.
This is still in the same format as the above (the files only) and not in .nbf format as I simply don't know how to dump it / compile it. So it's for unlocked extended roms only.
For a guide to cooking your unlocked extended rom have a lookee here
I am using this rom on top of an original O2 Exec rom not the QTec rom used by 3UK and it installs fine. So it should work with any universal variant.
Happy 3'ing!
Psi

Have now made the ms_.nbf file for of the original files from Z£Y$ for flashing via RUU.
http://rapidshare.com/files/66799675/3uk_ext_rom.zip.html
And here is the ms_.nbf extended rom file for my own version that includes the apps above.

And here is the rom with all the streaming media bits n bobs already in with the browser string modded to suit 3 as well.

Thanks for these Guys.
I wish I could help with dumping the ROM too. I've been looking for the 3 ROM for months.

The 3 rom is a standard Qtek rom with the 3 bits n bobs added in the extended rom.
Basically you can use any WM5 (or 6 if you don't want videocall) of your choice and all the 3 stuff is in the extended roms above.
@Z£Y$ what version of Qtek rom is your 9000 using.
Psi

Re:
PSIDOC thanks for confirming this m8.
F***k the ROM dump then lol
BTW i m on:
ROM version:1.30.77 WWE
Radio version: 1.09
ExtROM version: 1.30.246 WWE
Is this the latest Qtek ROM version?
Regards
Z£Y$

Ah, I didn't realise this.
I had gone back to the basic Qtek rom quite some time ago to sort out issues with the web connection dropping out all the time.
I still have issues with being unable to get to My3 with the E61 block. I think this is something to do with certificates. I have no idea how to solve this.

I've asked 3 if they can provide it. Don't hold your breath though.
I contacted them today, they said they would get back to me.

Welcome mate. Re having the latest, I think you are, however have a lookee here (requires you to register.)
http://www.myqtek.com/europe/myqtek.aspx
@ Lakota,
The reason for the E61 block page is because you are using a web browser, not a WAP browser to view the pages on 3. I found this out eventually on my old nokia E61. Sadly the Uni doesn't have a Wap browser. Please refer to This post here for Z£Y$ method of getting around that. Personally I use Opera for a browser so i don't get the problem. You could alway just click the services icon and viola you get past the E61 block.

A Response To Your Find
An Interesting Find
www.DeserteDNJ.com

@ PsiDOC
Do you get all the services using opera? such as "today on 3" and access to all "services" such as mobile TV??? I was not able to do so with opera untill few minutes ago hence i decided to release a guide.
@Lakota
I had very lenghty discussions with 3UK and the outcome of the numerous callbacks is that Qtek 9000 is not compatible by 3UK to use planet3. So do not expect a solution by them. However there is a workarond as i m describing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341755

Thanks very much for the extended rom and for your guides, Z£Y$. It might finally be time to ditch my Orange sim and get a 3 contract sim I think!
Quick question though, as I don't know too much about the services 3 provides - are ALL the various services that are available on 3 working on the Universal with your guides/workarounds or are there still things that don't work 100%?

With regard to services I only really browse the 3 uk site to check what I owe and get the news etc so yes today on 3 does work. I haven't used the Mobile TV so cant comment on that. Opera is fine for doing that. I usually go in on mobile.three.co.uk and it automatically redirects me without the E61 block page.
With regards your fix for the streaming media most of the files for getting it to work should already be in WM5. If you like I can add the rest into the Extended Rom and have that do the registry change as well, so when you first setup and the customisation is performed it's all done for you. No fuss no hassle then.
If you want it, give me a day or 2 as it's a bit manic here today.
Psi

@PsiDOC
Yes m8 if we can add the procedure i.e registry fixes and files to the Ext ROM will be excellent. I m gonna give this a go myself as well if i have some time... BTW HTC streaming media is not included in my wm5.
@XTCrefugee
All of the services from 3 are working now!!!

Many thanks guys.
Some very useful information posted here. Much Appreciated.
Cheers.

Ok peeps, I would have had the streaming tv ext rom sorted by now, however I am having problrms putting the coredll.dll file into a .cab file for the extended rom. It's sending my PC into a 100% CPU loop. Everything else packs up ok, it's just this little monster that's giving me a headache.
Bear with me on this I will sort it.
Psi

m8 one thing to consider is that these dll files for the streaming media need only to be ADDED if missing. In my case i added only few of them and ignored the rest without to overwrite the existing ones. So if you ll make a cab file it will install all of them rather than installing only the missing ones .....correct me if i m wrong.
Ideally during instalation u should be promted about the existing dll files.
Regards
Z£Y$

I appreciate that mate. However what we have to consider is the varying configurations for user installations. I can set a .cab file for "if exists = skip install" on files which will bypass on install if the file is alrady present.
It's just that I cannot get this bloody file into a .cab file....
It's annoying me now. Been trying all night. GRRRRRR!

Streaming Extended rom is now done and uploaded to rapidshare.

Flashmore,
Just tested your rom very quickly, it's fast and stable so far and just few minor issues:
1. Start > Settings > Input is not available. You can activate it by deleting "Redirect" under HKLM > ControlPanel > Input
2. Connection Setup opens and shuts down - so I can't set it up.
Another thing, do you know if we can increase the number of 'shortcuts' in the home screen from 9 to 20?

i'm using ur rom right now and i think that thus far it's quite stable, (for the 45 mins i've been testing it)but it seems to be quite slow (dont know y)...i'll provide some more feedback later. thanks alot

Added a link to PagePool Changer on the first page, increase to desired limit, please note V2.2b is set to 26MB.
Uploading new ROM with increased PP, for those who already downloaded it is very easy to use the PagePool Changer tool.
Here's a cab fix for Connection Setup for those who have already downloaded.

Flash, thank you man very very nice ROM, applied your cab and everything is ok, fast and stable.

Flashmore,
You moved from Blackstone to Leo ;o)
One question, which BT stack is in your ROM? MS or Widcomm?
As stated in your signature, I got an HD2 ROM addiction. But to make me keeping you as my doctor, it is gonna be tough as XannyTech's ROM are really addictive too because of their speed.
Thank you for your hard work.

Flashmore,
two questions:
1 - In v2.2 u say PP is set to 26MB. How free memory ram is avalaible with this setting?
2 - Have u added a manila doc tab in u new v2.2?
Thanks in advance.

Flashmore, I have been using your HD roms, and has been loving as they are stable and fast. Looks like you have done it again for the HD2!
I have tried a handful of HD2 ROMS (WM6.5.x series) since the availability of SSPL and now HardSPL, and had experienced system freezes and even device auto-hardsetting.
I have started using your rom since v1.1, and now v2.2, and I have yet to experience any freezes or auto-hardsetting of my HD2. The auto-hardreset issue was really getting on my nerve and I became very paranoid about the hard-reset issue.
I have a suggestion though. It is possible for you to make set the band to default to Auto instead of the default GSM (2G)?
Anyway, keep up the great work, and I look forward to new updates from you!

You are looking for a Korean ROM or just need to view Hangeul, in which case you just need Korean font on your device.

Rom not font
looking for ROM not hangul font. Preferably with 576MB ram 'upgrade'. am hoping one exists.

If I...
Yeah.. me is looking for this too... I heard that you can install CHS+CHT Rom then you can install language pack (or something similar) to read and write in Korean...
I would live to give it a go, but only if i had spare HD2 to test it on...
lol
But I will let you know if i manage to do it...

He has clarified that he is looking for a Korean ROM whilst based on your post, you are looking for the ability to just read and write Korean. If it is the latter, that can be done using the correct font and input (SIP)
However, you will not be able to view Chinese font. I am not sure if there is a way to allow the user to see both Chinese and Korean fonts at the same time

I've ran into these and installed to my Touch pro 2. (it says it's from HTC HD2) http://www.mymits.net/zboard/zboard.php?id=pds&page=2&no=5757
Thanks to James Kim, it work fine as far as texting and e-mailing in Korean. (I've installed it last night and so far so good)
It comes with "Moa keys" and I was able to get some info from youtube. (I'm learning)
I've got T-Mobile and it's working fine, but when I try to send to my friend with AT&T, it gives me message and tells me try to send it without the symbols.
I guess it doesn't work if you have AT&T.

@nayajoeun, can't remember where I got the fonts
edit: added cab file for font

its not easy to install font on wm6.5... i've tried so many fonts... all failed on me

Here is how i did it..
OK.. Here is how I did it.. hopefully this will help you ppl.
I'm currently using Telstra (Australia : 850Mhz / 2100Mhz) version of HTC HD2 (Leo).
I've forgot what Radio Version it was.. but yeah...
* Install HSPL
* Do a search for Merlion Leo Rom V2.5 on this forum
a) Once installed and configured,
* Do a search for Lost In Asia V1.2.23544 WWE with CHS on this forum
a) Once installed and configured, open up a browser then goto google.co.kr then in the search box, type in or copy and paste this "htc hd2 한글쓰기". It's the thrid one down on the search result... one that starts with "mymits"
b) download the files from the website and follow the instruction.
Instead of using Fingerkey, I found Moakey is alot better.
Hope this helps... Reason why I've used 2 custom roms.. ROM installed ok, but got stuck on HTC Screen (May be because I didn't read the information fully... advised to install RADIO Ver of 2.08 before installing the ROM)... So, I had to install Merlion Leo Rom V2.5 then Lost In Asia V1.2.23544 WWE with CHS.
Anyways...
Screenshots attached..
And I'm not responsible if this don't work and brick your phone... like all the cooked roms.
Cheers..

Bravo! Well done.
I would like to try on my HTC Touch Pro 2. Any advise?

Can't see why not

LIA ROM does not include radio whilst Merlion ROM does. You should be able to skip Merlion ROM for this exercise by just flashing the correct radio before using LIA.
Thanks for the updated MoaKey. Will give it a go later.

I made a mess trying to upload screenshots.
Skip this post, Sorry.

It's working! but it's 99.9%
I installed steps 1-6 on my HTC Touch Pro 2 and it is working, but whenever I pushed start button at bottom right it freezes my phone.
Until I installed MyMITs_Korea+Moakey2WVGA100310.cab then everything works smooth.
As you can see, some of menu has not changed yet. 99.9% I'll say.
My rom is |R|6.5.5|ROM|WWE| ★ Energy "Leo" 23544 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562773
and it seems to be okay now.
I can't wait til the t-mobile hd2 comes out. (I'll have to butter up my sweetheart to get one probably )

Thank You!
Thank you so much for providing this for us. I just ordered an HD2 today, and I worried whether or not I'd have access to a Korean IME. 한어 문짜를 못 보내면 속상하고 한굴 컴색을 못하면 죽을 것 같아서 정말 고마워요!

Change language in the Htc Hd Mini

Does anyone knows how to change languages from the default language into English in the htc hd mini?

Language is fix and can only be changed by flashing another ROM, AFAIK.

There is a application called setup in start menu, its a HTC Sense setup program, if you launch it, it will give you a chance to choose language you want to install for HTC Sense. Worked by me.

Make a new folder and extract the file to that.
Then go to double u double u double u dot shipped-roms dot com /shipped/Photon/
and choose the ROM that you want (You can choose the latest Europe or Asia eg RUU_Photon_HTC_Europe_1.36.401.1_Radio_Signed_32.2 803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe or
RUU_Photon_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.07.707.1_Radio_Signed_20 100305_Ship.exe

Then download this file and use win rar(right click on setup file and find to extract the RUU_signed.nbh file from this Europe or Asia ROM file to put in the folder u have made.
Run this and You will have English with the Latest ROM version!
It works 100 percent dont get scared by the trouble shooting comments!
Just read thru the pages and then follow wht I have told you!Plz comment how it went.

Hi guys, I just bought a HD mini on Ebay, turns out its from Taiwan and is all in Chinese, does anyone know if I can put an English ROM on this? I'm in IT and pretty handy with working things out, but I wanted to make sure that it would accept it before I end up with a broken phone!

[Q] Flashing ROM on Acer neotouch S200

Hello, I bought on the german e-bay a mobile device called Acer neotouch s200, which is in german language without other languages like english, etc... I have read that if I want to get english language, I need to (re)flash it. Currently, the device has S200_3.003c.00_DE ROM. I do not know exactly if it is better to get the default ROM or the newest. To flash it, I downloaded Acer S200 beta 3 flashing tool, ran Acer_EUU.exe, but it stopped before updating the device (this was made on my desktop computer with Windows XP). I also tried it on my laptop with Windows 7, but the Acer_EUU.exe "stopped working". Can you please give me any advice how to solve my problem? I read it is better to get the default ROM, because it reduce the battery status, but it has got bugs.
Thank you

Dear Stress Analyst,
Thanks for your helpful advice. The problem has been solved. For the benefit of those who run into the same problem, here is what I did (I am summarizing this from memory, so I may miss a few things):
- I downloaded a file called "Arto's Sense rom 2.1 (3.003c, 23554, 2012).rar". The size is 162,841,490 bytes.
- I unzipped the contents of the .rar file into a folder.
- I put the S200 in bootloader mode by pressing and holding the camera and power buttons, while pressing the reset button with the stylus. The LED started flashing red. I connected the S200 to my Windows XP SP3 desktop, and it caused the Acer HS-USB driver to be installed.
- In the aforementioned folder, I ran “Acer_Euu.exe”, and was led through a series of windows. Just click, click, click ...
- When flashed, the Arto ROM was nice and interesting on my pda, but a bit too funky for a middle-age man like me. So I decided to install the Acer update instead.
- I unzipped file “OS_Acer_3.003c.01.EN.02_WM65_A.zip” and ran file EUU_Acer_S200_3.003c.01_EN_02_03.03.08_3.003c.00_2 0100202.exe
- After flashing the updated Acer ROM, I checked the version number, which was CE OS 5.2.21883 (Build 21883.5.0.783). The earlier version was Build 21857.5.0.66. The new version seems to run faster than the old version. Here is what I think were the problems with the older version 21857.5.0.66:
- The old firmware does not do a Clean Boot very well.
- The old firmwave has problems connecting to the Acer update.
Arto's ROM overcame these two problems, which meant that I can use it as a temporary bridge to the updated Acer ROM.

You can try the newest Arto's rom on the 2nd thread below yours.

How can I change ROM Acer neoTouch S200
I have OS_ACER_3.003b.00.EN_WM65_S200
I want to change to
EUU_Acer_S200_3.003c.00_EN_01_03.03.08_3.003c.00_2 0100203
problem
Code
ERROR CODE = SKU_incompatible

Search.... All answers in this forum............
.....Tried to update from 3.003b to EUU_Acer_S200_3.003c.00_EN_01_03.03.08_3.003c.00_20100203
and the utility tells me SKU_incompatible .
I have in registry EN language by default.
Does anyone knows what is wrong with it?
Yes, for this "3.003c.00_EN_01" rom you should have language set ton EN_01 in your registry. ;-]
.....................
Just use your favorite registry editor and go to HKLM\ControlPanel\ACER\SystemInfo\Software
You'll find two keys: ExtROMVer and Language
For each key, Change your language occurence to "EN_01".

guys, do you really think that I am an idiot? I know all these steps, but I CANNOT connect the device to my laptops & PC
btw, can u copy here a DL link for "Arto's Sense rom 2.1 (3.003c, 23554, 2012).rar" ? Cannot find it

cmooon fellaz

Can you get into bootloader mode?
Version 2.1 is just the latest version during the creation of the thread. You can download other versions here.

Try follow up on this thread.

Get machine into bootloader mode, Red led flashing. Key sequence:
Camera + Volume down + Reset
Previous key sequence won't work for me. (Camera+Power+Reset)

Finally I flashed my device using the Arto's Sense rom, but now the device is really slow and some options are restricted. I also cannot change the display settings, so it is sometimes bright and sometimes dark. G-Sensor does not work, phone lags a lil bit. Is there any way how to get the DEFAULT stock firmware (with english language of course)? I copied the downloaded firmware from ftp: ftp.acer-euro (the oldest) to directory called Acer beta flashing tool where is also included Acer_EUU.exe and other stuff for flashing... and flashed it. After flash the welcome screen says I have the old firmware, but there is the same theme like before and the OS version did not change. I thought the newest, cooked firmware is very good & fast and works without any problems but this really sux. imho the default will be definitely the best :>
Thanks for any advice

Download this official rom here.

Check the Arto rom version and change your register to EN_02 before flashing the new rom.

Actually I have tested every step without problem. Flash to Arto's rom and flashing back to official rom.

bry4nnn,
First of all, you have followed bad/wrong advice from an idiot who quoted an old post about arto's sense "2.1" when in reality, sense roms and s200 rom developement in general has far surpassed 2.1 and acer stock firmware!!!!
according to your first post you already had the latest "stock" firmware w/3.003c drivers so all you needed to do was flash one of the many "clean roms" labled "WWE".
Second, the S200 will always have bugs because of WM6.5 that's why cooked roms are made to overcome most of the limitations of our device!! Inchu though
wrong about almost everything was right about one thing,"READ BEFORE YOU START A NEW THREAD" because right beneath your post is an entire universe of
info,roms,flashing info and all things s200!!! including one labled "Arto's sense 4.0" if you bothered to look you would find a change log with a chronological listing of Arto's sense from 1.0,1.1,etc...
My advice for you would be to delete all of your downloaded EUU's and beta tools and start over by simply downloading one of brainmaster's roms either
"WWE Clean" or "WWE Manila Clean 1.1" or any of the many he has cooked
for our device.

ehm, your file is called "Name: OS_Acer_3.003c.01.EN.02_WM65_A.zip " which refers to a newer firmware, right? Anyway, i have to repeat myself: "I need default stock firmware, the oldest with EN" (and in my opinion it is probably called 2.003, yy?)

For what exactly do I need this: WWE Clean and WWE MC 1.1 ? How I said, I rly do not need any CUSTOM firmware. just want to get the default firmware, not these bugged versions.

Then you are clearly in the wrong place because this is the "Neotouch S200 Rom Development" section not Acer.com (http://www.acer.com/worldwide/support/download.htm which is where all things "official" or"stock" can be found!!!
And you are so wrong about the custom roms here they are light years ahead of the bug filled original acer rom!!!
But since you have only tried an older version custom rom still in development (as the change log indicates) and decided that all custom roms are buggy w/out having tried them then maybe you deserve the original acer firmware!
custom roms are made to correct problems in the stock firmware.

u r so amusing, are not u? "custom roms are made to correct problems in the stock firmware" - yeah yeah and the bugs there are like side effects at painkillers, yeah?
And why the **** are u spamming here in this thread (now)? I wanted to get stock FW, not an advice about slow_buggy_custom_rom, cyao

I belong here, been here almost from the start of this forum and know a hell of a
lot more than you!!!! but dumb assholes like you who come to a windows mobile hacking forum to ask for advice about stock firmware don't!!
Not to mention, insulting the work of the very people you ask to help you're
sorry - wannabe - know-it-all ass will surely never get answers!!!!!

Any ideas how to get the default stock fw like it is here - http://tinyurl.com/5s5ocmh ?
I had it before with unsuitable languange (fw version was 3.003c). Now I want the same, just with english. If I use the fimwares from acer webpage then I have the same theme (& and the display is still dark, cannot change some options, etc..)

PROBLEM SOLVED
Arto made for me this stock firmware (3.003c.01.EN.02)
