Has anybody upgraded to the windows mobile 6.1 and been able to get WMwifirouter to work? If you had problems getting wmwifirouter to work with the new verizon windows mobile 6.1, were you able to get it to work? Please explain how you were able to get it working if its possible. I am thinking of upgraded the windows mobile but am thinking that verizon might have done something to the software that wont allow internet sharing.
No problems here, when the power went out and so did cable due to the hurricane I was using it successfully on DCD 3.2.6 which is wm 6.1, radio 3.37.75, on an xv6800. Wifi Router version 0.91. All I did was install the cab file and made sure my wifi switch on the left hand side was turned on and ran the app.:
I have a VZW XV6800 w/ the MR1 update. I think if you want to get WMWifiRouter to work you also need to install the ICS tool since Verizon doesn't include that on their phones.

Did you initially have to manually setup your adhoc connection?
I currently have the original windows mobile 6.0 and have wmwifirouter .91 installed. WMwifirouter works fine with this setup. What my questions is , if I upgrade to windows mobile 6.1, will I lose the ability to use wmwifirouter?

Do you have WMwifirouter installed and working?
6.1 and wifirouter working good. Did install ics tool first.
Where did you download the ICS tool from for the Verizon XV6800?
I have seen quite a few posts about needing ICS without Cooked ROM's but haven't seen where to download.

noob needs help
hello all. well, i upgraded my xv6800 to wm6.1 and lost my the ICS software i had installed last year (don't remember what steps i had done). I want to reinstall it and tried using the zip file posted above but could not get it to work. anyone willing to give me a step by step on how to install. sorry for the stupid questions.
I just installed the ICS with the attached CAB file. Just load it onto your phone somewhere and run it. It will restore ICS back to your phone.
Current ICS Install File
The post date for the last ICSInstall.CAB file is April 2007. Since it is now almost two years later, does anyone know if the ICSInstall.cab file posted in April 2007 is the current version to use in March 2009 on a Verizon (Samsung) i910 running Windows Mobile 6.1? Could anyone direct me to the current version? Thanks all.

Beware upgrade to unlocked phones...
Hi All,
I wanted the improved stability etc from this upgrade but after upgrading an unlocked phone, found out that the GPRS would no longer connect. the connect process seems to just hang.
Shame cos the update seemed worthwhile.
Cheers,

I doubt this has anything to do with the device being unlocked, which radio version are you using, what version is in the update?
Unlocked Phone
Wouldn't have anyting to do with it as my phone is supercid and just for kicks I reverted back and flashed the ATT update when it came out. I ran it for 4 days with no gprs problems. Then flashed back to our talented cooked roms here. Has to be some other reason.
I have a HTC Mogul and I need windows internet update. Help Please!
huh?
you need an updated rom?
you need an updated pocketpc internet explore?
if you are talking about the update icon in some roms
then non of them ever worked ms seem to have drop'd the whole idear
and no updates were ever put out that way
Good morning Everyone,
I was looking into information on updating my Cell phone ROM as after some reading and searching I found out that this phone is GPS capable (Why they would sell it with the functionality disabled is beyond me.) On the Official HTC website I did find a new update that was released 08/06/2008 at the following link. CLICKY! . I am wounder if anyone else is having a problem downloading this file and installing it? I receive an error saying the file is corrupt and I should download the file again. I have tried downloading the file from two separate computers, tried all three mirror sites (US, Europe, Asia) and last but not least tried using three different web browsers. Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari for Windows.
I am curious if anyone knows of another mirror site for this newly released update that is working? Or of another way I can update to the same version. I am unfamiliar with the ROMs that are on this website (I could figure it out but am uneasy about installing something unofficial.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I also noticed that the file name "-HTC P4000 (Telus)-Telus_HTC_P4000_WM6_07252007.exe" Has an old date on it? I am hoping they just rebuilt a previous update, or they have not actually posted the new update and still have an old one which happens to not work. Just an observation I noticed.
PSS: I have sent in a technical help request through the online process of HTC asking for a link to a working .exe but I tend to find that out of the norm requests such as this do not turn out very well with corporations whose support team are really only knowledgeable in standard help desk things IE: I'm too stupid to turn on my phone can you help me?
Did you follow the instructions here?
http://www.telusmobility.com/on/business_solutions/htc_p4000_upgrade_xp.shtml
I did a while back and it worked. If not, just switch to DCD's, it's awesome. Telus's 6.1 ROM doesn't enable your GPS.
Ya that is currently the ROM I am running, Maybe I am just mixed up. I looked at the HTC website for the TELUS rom and noticed the date for release was 08/06/2008 so I was under the assumption they had released an updated ROM that was a newer version then 2.13.661.2 which I am already running. One that would also patch the GPS (just a guess). However, I guess I will look into the DCD roms and see if I can fumble through the guides to get it loaded. Thanks anyways.
telus p4000 rom
I have a P4000 running on DCD 3.2.2 and Radio 3.42.2 gps enabled internet sharing enabled and many other stuff... this is just roocking the place.. Just forgot the official Rom and go for dcd you just have to follow all instructions be aware and youll anjoye all youre gona do with your phone
HTC P4000 rocks again!
Being half way through custom install (with all nightmares and mistakes ) I found this official update too. Confirm too: everything works as expected.
Took a while for GPS to pick up in Richmond Hill, Ontario, but the it worked like a charm!

2nd that. Upgraded from the old v2 and now to this one GPS and everything worked great with Google Maps.. I didn't bother stopping that customization thing like I've read in other post. Loaded that HTC home Plugin v2.1 on it and its fine.
First of all I would like thank Skywing for writing this GPS Application
Gateway for the xv6800 phone with stock rom or upgraded MR1 rom..
This thread is to show my thanks and to help new ppl like myself
find this app easer.. It took me about haft a day searching two forums
just to find what I was looking for .. so I hope this will help other
new ppl find what they are looking for much easer ..
Again this application was written by “Skywing” and someone wrote
the easy install CAB for his app .. also like thank “gc14“ for writing
the tutorial ..
This Application aGPS aka GPS Server aka (Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab)
Will allow your 100% stock rom or MR1 rom on your xv6800 Phone
to access GPS signal via 3rd party application e.g. MS Live search, Google maps etc..
without the need to unlock the phone or do anything to the phone other than
simply loading the GPSServer.cab file ..
For step-by-step install info. go to: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix
To download the CAB go to: http://rapidshare.com/files/165096506/Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer.cab
Show your thanks to Skywing, go to his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424387
I have personal testing this code on my xv6800 with stock ROM, then I
upgraded to the MR1 ROM from HTC for the xv6800 with WM 6.1 and
install the GPSServer.cab and it works perfect for both ROMs without
doing any unlocking or running anything else other then just the GPSServer.cab
BTW for anyone with the stock ROM running WM 6.0 and would like to
upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 .. you can download the MR1 ROM direly
from HTC
Again this is the, Verizon XV6800 ROM MR1
Release Date: 2008-08-23
go to: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=82&cat=2&dl_id=99
If this link does not work you may need to set your “country” first, (top right of the page “select country” set to “United States”
wow .. update: also found out that gc14 made the CAB file as well..
Thanks again gc14
gc14 post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2625473&postcount=113
Thanks! It works very good with Google Maps
Is your WIFI works with WM6.1? After I installed MR1, my WIFI is not working anymore. I hope you might be able to help me.
TIA
to all that created this thank you, works flawless on the stock mr2 rom
can't get it to work..
Hi all! I followed this method a while back and had Google maps working great for quite some time! This past weekend I tried to use it with GPS and it couldn't find any satellites. I figured it was maybe too much cloud cover or other interference related to my location. Anyhow, yesterday I updated my XV6800 to MR2, installed the latest Google maps (3.0.0.12) and still cannot get it to find any satellites. after playing with the COM ports and location setting (currently COM4 and Loc ON) without success I installed GPS Toggle, which also cannot find any satellites.
Anyone have any suggestions to get this working again? Does this even work with MR2? I'd be happy to go back to MR1, though MR2 seems to be a little smoother and faster.
Thanks!

Read the last couple of pages

thanks drewcam888. I'll check it out this afternoon and let you know how I make out.
BTW, I was looking around my device and I found a different version of gpsapi.dll (hidden) in the Windows directory. I'm thinking this may be the problem. It won't let me modify it though, as it's a system file. I can view it using SKTools, but not modify it.
Can you recommend a file manager program that'll let me move / copy / replace system files?
Thanks!
You can't modify a rom file or one that is created by the rom itself. Or at least I don't know how
Hello,
I'm pretty new here and new to the XV6800. I have a rom version that I downloaded from htc site that under device info reads 3.57.605.1 I don't know what MR1 or MR2 is or is mine an MR3?? Also I have a Radio version of 3.37.75?? My question is can I install this to get GPS or AGPS working on my device? Do I have to install a different radio to get it working?
Thanks,
Chris

Read the thread for a while that drewcam8888 lists above "adapter program to ......" and then make sure you change the registry settings as it describes for Valhalla in the posts from the past couple of days. I believe I posted #627 which has the places to edit for Valhalla. Listen to what others say to make sure you have everything right.
mine failed around the same time but using a different set of cab files which had worked flawlessly on both previous installs of MR1 . Is this perhaps something from verizon?....Anyway having not installed from a wrar file before how do you install the valhalla cab when the redirects disconnect from the server?
I have a xv6800 and i got it last week, the person that i got it from updated the rom. a couple days ago i cleared the storage, which i guess is a hard reset, but i wanted to know if that resets my Rom
thanks
Tyve
resets to a fresh install of your current rom. It removes all none rom files.
so do i hav to re-hack the rom to use google maps?
i have no idea wut im doing,
thanks
Yes you do
dang, that sux. thanks a bunch
my ROM version is 3.57.605.2 does anyone know if that is hacked or not?
Not it is stock verizon MR2
ok, do u know an easy way to hack it, im only 14 and i suk at hacking it
Does anyone know if the rom (Version 1.17.531.6) available for download at T-mobile's site has WM6.5 on it?
where? I couldn't find it.
if it says anything about being the HTC issued hotfix for system hang, it does not have the 6.5 in it.
No its not 6.5, just a couple bug fixes and better 3G switching
October 6 on the stock ROM upgrade is the rumor
note: rumor
It would be good if we can get just the RADIO rom out of this........would maybe fix some of those dropped calls I am experiencing.
Go here, post #3. Follow ALL instructions and HardSPL!! This is the Radio from the latest Dash3G ROM.

Hi is there a way to update my dash 3g to the new Version 1.17.531.6 from my phone directly
thanks
negative. It's an executable that runs from a host pc. you just need to have activesync installed on that machine (if it's XP), or any machine with vista or 7 should be able to do it.
