I have a Dopod C858 that is from China. It currently has the Chinese version of Windows Mobile 5.0 and I am looking for an English upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.0. I tried using the RUU for the HTC P4350 but it came up as a Model ID Error and I couldn't continue. I tried doing a CID Unlock using IMEI check but they don't support the Dopod C858. Does anyone have any ideas? Oh and one more thing. Currently, the Comm Manager on my Dopod does not have the WiFi option. I noticed after I did a hard reset that when it was loading the .cab for Comm Manager, it displayed something like no_wifi.cab. Did Dopod Asia purposely disable Wifi?
EDIT: I contacted IMEI Check and they helped me out by enabling my IMEI. My device is now supposedly "CID Unlocked."
QQ group 33128089
Any luck with finding this via QQ? I have the same need...
Here is what I did: I CID Unlocked my phone using IMEI Check and downloaded the DOPOD Rom file located here. After that follow these directions and you should have an english rom:
Tools you need:
==============- HexWorkshop from here
- the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
===========a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use:
"Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all
the
files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH"
(*.NBH)
RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from
context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row HERA10000
==!!! make it HERA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex
Workshop" from conext menu
Search for text "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
OVERWRITE "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the
file
ROM-Update:
==========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker **
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker
ask
for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel"
on the
unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The
screen on
the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most
probably
it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like
it
is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has
still
white screen)
6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message:
"Data Crashed, contact service provider" (-*!NO PANIC!*-)
==Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time
select the key file normal way (full unlock process again).
The only problem is that the ROM is WM5 and there is still no Wifi.
Credit goes out to the IMEI-Check Team who provided me with the instructions!
Great, thanks for the info.
One question -- can you use the steps outlined to upgrade to WM6?
I was able to install WM6 before, using "aserg way", but the radio didn't work b/c the radio rom was not updated as part of the flashing process.
The way I understand it, if I can unlock my device and use the process you listed, I should be able to use a RRU which has an updated radio rom. After that, I should be able to sucessfully update to wm6.
What do u think?
I tried flashing a couple of WM6 roms but both of them didn't work. One stopped at 2% (Invalid Model ID) and the other one gave me an "Invalid Command." I currently have radio version 2.71.90, do you think it will work with WM6? If so, can u provide me with instructions on how to flash to WM6 using the aserg method?
Last time I tried upgrading to WM6, I found a cooked rom posted on this forum, and used 'aserg's' method to update it w/o updating the radio rom.
The method basically involves using a tool called 'awizard' along with a few other small utilities. The instructions should be easy to find on the forum here, let me know if you can't find them.
But before you do that, verify your radio is up to date. There is a minimum radio version you need to have (a search for radio rom on the windows mobile 6 forum should turn it up) before you can fully use a wm6 rom. The only known way to update the radio rom is to install an RRU package (which it seems like you've been able to do).
Currently, I'm waiting for my purchase & id to be validated with IMEI check.
Once that's done, I'll start with the steps you listed and try to get my radio rom up to date. After that, I'll select a rom, and do whatever it takes to get the rom installed.
I'll record all the steps I take as I do it, and post my results.
Don't worry -- I won't waste any time here, I've been waiting to update my device for a long time.
i'll be waiting right here. good luck!
oh and another thing, i am currently using this rom (ROM ver. 1.8.405.1). it gives you radio version 2.71.90.
It appears we need to find an RRU which includes a radio rom of 2.79 or higher.
We both currently have radio roms at 2.71.90, which is not good good enough for WM6.
I'm guessing we could use one of the posted upgrades (look in list of available official shipped rom's) and upgrade, even if we can't find one in english.
Afterwards we should be able to upgrade to wm6 of the appropriate langauge.
i read somewhere that one of the german ones has an updated radio rom. would you be volunteering to try first?
Yah, I found a few RRU's which contain a 2.79 version of the radio. I still need to wait for IMEI to verify me before I can continue with the process though.
btw... what time zone are you in? (I also bought my device in China, I live in Shanghai right now)
i'm in shanghai right now too!
i'm wondering if you can answer this for me. i don't know why some roms work and others don't. I currently have ROM version 1.8.405.1 WWE. Before that I successfully installed ROM version 1.7.707.3. I tried to install 5.4.405.1 but that didn't work. Am I supposed to install the updates in order of their release?
The order shouldn't matter. But, now I'm concerned -- because 5.4.405.1..etc is precisely the way to upgrdade to wm6 (since it has the 2.79 radio rom).
How did that update fail? Did you try updating after first unlocking your phone, or did your failure happen before you unlocked?
it gives me this after i try to upgrade: ERROR [300] : INVALID UPDATE TOOL
I've tried the steps you outlined above against several different roms... I get "invalid command" at 2% every time.
How frustrating... I'm guessing the steps IMEIcheck provided to update the 'updater' don't work with roms newer than a certain version.
Can you ask your contact there if they can provide updated steps which work with newer roms?
Seriously... i just paid like 40 bucks to unlock my phone.
I was _already_ running an english rom after flashing using aserg's way (an older htc wwe release), so I'm failing to see any advantage to having cid unlocked my phone.
I don't want to give up... I've already spent contless hours trying to figure out how to get past every minor error...
i'm in the same boat as you dude. this rom worked for me, but again, its version 1.8.405.1. None of the newer ones work. I just emailed my contact and i guess we can only wait and see what he can come up with. Another thing, have you enabled wifi on your device? I have a wifi button on my Comm Manager but when I tap it it tries to launch but then nothing happens. I read about a registry edit to fix this but my registry was different.
Hello everyone. I'm new to the website and I'm very interested in flashing my T-Mobile Wing. I just have a quick question for you guys. Is there anyway to go back to factory default, pretty much put in back to its original out of the box state if i flash the phone? Also, will i still be able to use the My Faves or does that have nothing to do with this? Thanks for all the help and i look forward to learning more about this.
Gigabit
Yes. You can download a T-Mobile Wing OEM RUU (search the forums for it) to get back to normal.
My Faves doesn't need the MyFaves app. I used MyFaves for about a year on my non-MyFaves Moto PEBL before getting the Wing. I just use Touch-IT 4.4 with the HTCHome plugin and just assign my myfaves numbers to the first 5 slots so 'simulate' the ease. I've always thought the MyFaves app was rather buggy, but there's a CAB floating around that you can install if you still want it. I just change my contacts via mytmobile online.
It's not too hard as long as you follow all the directions. Read them twice through if you have to.
thanks for the quick response. I just have one other question at this point. i've been look all over the place and cant seem to find what the newest version of Touch-It is. Can you please post a link to the newest version when every you have some time. I can't wait to get started.
Thanks!
Gig
These are the newest versions of Touch-IT.
NEW - Touch-IT v6.1.3 - Clean (updated with UC)
Touch-IT wm6.1 19199.1.0.0 - Full
Touch-IT wm6.1 19199.1.0.0 - ITsBlack
Touch-IT v4.4 and 4.41 WWE P4350
There was a small problem with the wm6.1 versions where the MMS wasn't working correctly, and I'm not sure if that has been fixed... but ITJE's roms are awesome and you can't go wrong with them.
You'll need to install my keyboard fix
KEYBOARD FIX for WING / HERALD & ROM hardware keyboard (keybddr.dll) mismatch
First off, Thank you so much for the fast responsces. Second, after a nice LONG day at the hospital with my daughter i sat down to start the flashing process. As i started reading some of the directions i saw something mentioned about Hard-SPL. My question to you guys is this: once i download the Touch version that i want, is that all i need? or do i need to look more into this and find Hard-SPL. please let me know whenever you have some time.
Thank You,
Gig
All you need to do is follow this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358225
HARDSPL is basically just flashing a rom.. so once youre done with it, all you have to do is install the Rom you want.
ok so, when i run Hard-SPL it starts to do its thing but stops at 4% and comes up with Update Error "Error 270". I've tried re-downloading the Hard-SPL file and uninstalled/reinstalled ActiveSync. I also installed all the .cab files in this order: canonyang, disablesecurity, asergpolicy, followed by a softrest. any ideas what the problem might be. Please let me know when you have some time. Thanks for all the help guys.
Gig
Try restoring back to the default ROM that comes from the factory by downloading it from the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321717
After that then try flashing with hard-spl and then to the new TouchIt.
By the way I recommend
Touch-IT wm6.1 19199.1.0.0 - Full
I have a T-mobile wing and that one works best for me. (of course you will have to run the keyboard fix cab and x-box cab as indicated in the previous posts after installing Touch-IT wm6)
i have yet to flash any ROM to the wing. it is still factory default. Should i still try to reinstall the new ROM using the link you provided? Thanks for all your help.
edit: after backing up all my crap i reinstalled the ROM using the RUU from the above post and everything went OK but I'm still getting the same Error when i try to run the Hard-SPL while in the bootloader screen i get "Error 270" at about the 2% mark. if i try to run the Hard-SPL while not in the bootloader screen i get "Error 202". please let me know if you have any other advice to get past this small issue.
Thanks,
Gig

Are you sure you ran the 3 cab files first (inside of the Wing with your stylus) and then did the softreset on your Wing (by pressing the little button on the side of your wing with the tip of your stylus) prior to running the ROM exe file (on your large desktop PC)?
The 3 cabs should be run in the order that is given.
yes, after i installed the 3 .cab files i did a soft reset. I held the camera button and pushed in the reset button with the stylus. then once i was in the screen with the different colors i ran Hard-SPL from my desktop computer.
edit:
after reading what i was typing i tried it again and it worked. just call me stupid. SOFT REST! those two words will hunt me forever. Thanks for all your help. not its time to start blowing crap up. lol
Thanks a bunch
Gig
If I remember the instructions, you're supposed to run the hardspl when the phone is running WM.... so basically, install the 3 cabs, reset, wait for it to reach your today screen... connect to activesync, then run hardspl.
that is correct sir. Thats how i was reading it but then doing it a different way. i dunno what i was thinking. Thank you so much for all your help. i have successfully installed Hard-SPL and Touch 4.4 full. I also over clocked from 201 to 247 with no issues. Applied your keyboard fix and the mms fix along with the Internet fix. all is working perfect. thanks again for all the help. i'll definitely will be browsing the sit more to see what else i can learn.
Thanks,

Hi guys...
I need some help
Im using WM6 pro SO CE 5.2.1933 (compilacion 18533.0.7.0) By Faman 08/11/2007
everything was fine, but a couple of days ago I realized I wasnt getting any text message.
When I tryed to get into the Sms inbox nothing happened (neither with the direct access, going through Start/Messages, or file browser windows/sms trigger.exe or any other file I saw with the sms word on it)
I know that the short way to fix this is reinstalling WM
But do you know if there is any way to fix the corrupt .exe (I think that is the problem) without all the backup I have to make in case of reinstalling?
Any idea?
BTW, Im not sure if the sms trigger.exe is the file, but when i try to copy from the phone to the pc using the activesync I get the an error, like if the file is read only or copy protected, so in case I can get a copy of the exe Im not sure that I can overwrite it that way.
And for last, my WM version is in spanish.
Thank you all in advance!
Cheers
any clue?
any clue on how to fix this?

Flashing your Viva
Hey guys, I'm a newbie here also and you are right, it is confusing. But here's what I've been able to figured out.
Go to this thread and download the file Opal_HardSPL_v2_0.zip.
When you uncompress this file you'll find see the file Opal_HardSPL_v2.exe. This program is what you use initially to flash the ROM of your Viva so that it's able to be Flashed with newer ROMs.
Download the ROM of your choosing. Sorry, can't help you much here. There are a lot of different ROMs out there and everyone's tastes are different.
Some of the ROMs that you download come with an installation program and some do not. After un-compressing your downloaded ROM if all you have is the single file RUU_signed.nbh then all you have is a ROM.
If you need an ROM update program there are a few out there to choose from. Here is a link to one that you can use.
If your ROM didn't come with an instalation program then copy it into the directory with the installation program you just downloaded and uncompressed.
You need to have your Viva connected and synced to you computer before continuing. Once this is done Flash your Viva with Opal_HardSPL_v2.exe that you previously downloaded.
Re-sync your Viva to the computer.
Flash your Viva by double clicking the ROM Update utility executable.
It takes about 10 minutes or so, be patient. Your Viva will reboot when the Flash is complete and you then just follow the instruction of the screen.
I think that about covers it. If anyone has any suggestions or updates or knows of something that I forgot to mention then please post a response.
Thanks
thanks for easy and quick steps, but i dont have guts to flash my touch viva.

Guys,
I found a new version of the HTC Messaging client version HTCMessaging_Client_1_8_20152127_00. It is a part from a new rom version 2015. I have all the files (see attachment), but I don't know how to make a cab file from it. Also I am not sure if all the files are the correct WWE files.
Anybody to help?

these are not WWE
This HTC Messaging Client is from a CHT ROM, right? If that's the case, it might not support other characters than CHT ones! Had such an issue when I tried a SKT-based Messaging Client from Leo_SKT_1.78.911.1 ROM!
I can make a cab for you, but what's news on this version?
New version is MUCH faster... It's now realy usable. Still a lot of bugs while receiviing sms is messaging window.
CAB have proper 409 mui and send button:
Disable Manila > install > reset > Enable Manila

here the cab!
sorry i don't see the post of krogoth! Choose your cab so
how come the file size is so different. 6.68mb vs 2.32mb

Hum now my cab is about 3.3Mo (i update it (V2)) i use compress and he uses normal!
krogoth's .cab installs on energyRom rhodium, plain 2.5 on 23xxx. still checking features, but seems to be fine so far. I'll report speed after restoring SMS from MyPhone.
G-ThGraf's .cab installs, but does not integrate with NRGZ28's sense.

Thanks for the cab! This is a version without the secure box. Can you please make a cab with the mui for secure box included?
Thanks again, anyway.
I have not tested it yet, but here's HTC Messaging Client v1.8.2016 from the Rom that has Manila 2015 core. I included the 0409 files I use with V1.8.2015. (This is an EXT package is someone wants to create a cab from it)
I also attached the Send key files so you have the send icon, instead of the CHT text where the send icon should be.
i can work on it but i'm curently using manila core 2013
I am desperately waiting for this cab.. Did anyone make a cab out of this..

hey G-ThGraf,
i cant seem to get this to work and i have several questions which i'd really appreciate if you could enlighten me.
1) what is the difference between 2015 and 2016, and why the 1 vs 3 mui files?
2) are the steps to delete and restore messages necessary for the installl to work or are they in place to simply protect ones messages? i ask because i dont care about my messages and it is a bit of a pain to delete, save, restore.
3) regardless of how i attempt to do this i always end up with one of two results:
a) i cannot access my text message application at all
b) i can briefly open the text message app, but it quickly closes and i cannot actually access any messages
if it helps at all:
1) i run spb wms3.5.5 and have sense disabled 100% of the time
2) im on a tmous 2.13 rom, stock.
not sure if there is any further pertinent info but i'd love to get this working and it seems others with my setup have it working.
id really appreciate your feedback.
thanks

UPDATE:
ive made great strides. despite the fact that i never have sense enabled, this is indeed an integral step in the process (otherwise i just got lucky). so here were my steps to success:
1) back up text messages using spb backup
2) permanently delete all messages
3) disable sense (it was already disabled)
4) soft reset
5) install cab (which was transferred to microSD beforehand)
6) press cancel after install to decline restart
7) DID NOT INSTALL THE MUI
8) soft reset
9) enable sense
10) DIDNT BOTHER TO RETRIEVE MY MESSAGES YET
11) Soft reset
12) checked that messaging worked IN sense (and that is was 1.8)
13) DISABLED sense and now this seems to be working perfectly in SPB winmo shell 3.5.5
updates to follow as i progress deeper down the rabbit hole.
