Himalaya/andes problems

Hello, i have a small problem, i have a SVP M1000 for personal use, and a Qtek pocket pc issued by work, now im not really sure what the Qtek is at the moment its the same looking as the m1000 but different buttons slightly and a less shiney finish to it. the main problem is, that the MOD base im contracted at had the cameras disabled on them, due to regulations, i need the camera back on it to make life a hell of alot easier is there any way of installing the camera software back onto the device? i would change the rom, but i cant loose anything on the device because it all sync's through gprs, and hasalot of pre installed software by the firm i work for. if anybody here has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated,
ps. Himalaya is working great thanks to many pages read on here, and ovcourse the roms!
PPS. details on the Qtek
Rom version: 1.72.00WWE
Rom date : 03/15/04
Radio version: 1.14.00
Protocol version: 1337.24
extROM version: 1.72.189

The camera software resides in the extended rom, maybe it is present on yours but written out of the boot sequence. Look in your extended rom and see if it is there, if not I am sure somebody could upload it. I have an M1000 but it now has O2 rom and I am not sure that would work with your phone as I have never tried it.
A word of warning, it could mean unemployment for you and a possible lengthy interview with MOD police.

thanks for your reply! if i was to put a different extended rom on, would i lose any imformation at all?? i take it this qtek is an andes :?: ive already spoken to the mod plod and they cant see any problems with it, its just the site managers a bit of a **** :shock: the problem at the time was the new euro fighter was performing testing at the base and no leaked pictures could get out, so there should be no problem with it now, if someone could upload the extrom for me to flash the qtek with that would be great, and a little more info on the precedure! if theres anything worth uploading from the qtek please let me know, i would be more than happy to upload anything.
Again thanks for the help.

can anybody help me here?

I have a blank next to my EXT ROM - -but the camera still seems to work !?

If you put in a different extended rom you will lose any proprietary cabs/programs that your employers may have installed to the extended rom in your phone. I would assume that even in the case of a hard reset your phone will install the programs that your employers wish to be available and the others will have been removed or written out of the boot sequence. Look for roms and extended roms here.

New M5000 Owner

Hey Guys,
Just bought an orange m5000 of a friend, got a few bits already installed and a GPS reciever for Tomtom.
Just wondering where to start really, the screen seems a bit laggy, I was hoping I could upgrade the firmware somehow, but Im new to this and looking at all the posts is a bit confusing.
I'd rather it not have all the Orange muck that seems to be on it at the moment as I am an o2 user.
The only thing I have done to it so far is use buzz's universal sim unlock tool which works well.
If its any help I get a 1.30.90 version number show up when I start and a radio version of 0.0.0.
If you could direct me to must have apps, and the latest firmware, id be forever grateful.

You have a radio version of zero?
Have you actually got a signal on the phone?
Would you like to put the latest O2 ROM on your Uni instead of the Orange, or would you just like to get rid of the Orange customisations?

If you've still got Radio 0.00 you haven't read the unlocker thread.
Please upgrade to a new rom ASAP. 0.00 does work, but is not advisable as stable.
My top tips for the Universal:
-Update your ROM.
-Remove the phone dialer skin.
From there, just keep reading the forums! Many threads on optimisation already.

Ok just updated it to the lastest o2 ROM and its looking pretty tasty, just wondering where all these optimisation threads are.
Which is the best ROM to run it off in order to get the best performance ??

Quick Question: what is the newest o2 ROM?

Hi,
The xda website is down at the moment and I need to update a colleagues Exec with the latest ROM (asap).
I have on my laptop one from earlier in the year - Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.exe
Can anyone tell me if this is the latest ROM? If there is a newer one I will have to wait until the xda website is up again, unless anyone knows where else I can get it.
Many thanks
HPJ

Yes
yes it is the latest o2 rom
it also supports a2dp if you add the files and reg entries (do a search on this forum)
you might want to upgrade to orange's better radio rom though. it still works on all nets and gives better quality whilst letting you keep o2 customisations (do a search again)
anyway, that ^ is how i've got mine. so it works.

Brilliant, thanks mate

Prophet ROM Comparisons

So my new (to me) Prophet arrived today. Damn near mint condition. Quickly unlocked it, and popped in my sim.
G4 too. Pleasant surprise.
Next stage of course is to get the most useful ROM onto it so I can happily bimble about knowing that even at total power loss, I'll still have cool stuff on there when I plug it back in.
I'm glad to see there's a good selection of shipped ROMs available, but there's no info on the differences between them.
I'm not *****ing about this. There's a lot of phones to cover, and only so much time people can spare.
So I'm thinking, those who've installed one obviously know what's on it. Just list the ROM, and spew out the details on what it contains. Then later on someone can come through the thread, copy the info, edit it up and dump it on the wiki.
So, what's the spec of the original ROMs? The modded ones? Extensions?
Mine's currently a standard Orange ROM, as far as I'm aware. WM5, (5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0)). All default aside from undoing the simlock.
ROM version: 2.10.1.22 WWE
ROM date: 2/16/06
Radio version: 02.07.20
Protocol version: 413.1.03
ExtROM version: 2.10.1.107
Operator version: 13.10.1.107
I freely admit I don't know much in-depth here yet, but I'm eager to help fill in gaps in the knowledge base if I can. If this sort of direct sugestion is out of line, just let me know.
I think the information required on each would need to be:
OS and other version info
Bundled software
Any special features
Any tweaks (for non-standard ROMs, I should think)
Does that sound about right?

Good question, but I think the flashaholics on here are too busy doing wm6 roms.
I guess you are asking, is it worth trashing the shipped orange rom for the jesterz aku2.2 rom. Probably, but check out on the htc site to see if your m600 is still in warranty as you may void that if you flash with jesterz (don't think there is a way back to orange rom with a G4 - from what I've read).
Anyone else want to chip in?

don't look back
The variations of rom available seem far better then the overweight Orange version. can't seem to rid my M600 of the Orange start up screen when first booting, but thats the only time I see it....
btw....excellent idea to list available roms, but maybe a little to transient to remain relevant for very long.... additional pics would be good too...

Well, I don't really care about the warrenty. I didn't buy it new, and I've probably already invalidated anything by unlocking it.
As for the "jesterz aku2.2" ROM, I wasn't asking about it specificly. Why's it such a good one to go with?
I don't even know what benefits there might be in upgrading to a WM version 6 ROM.
But anyway, there's four basic categories it seems..

I THINK that's correct, because the original ROM list doesn't specify wether the ROMs are WM5 or 6.
The contributed ones though do seem to have good listings for the included software and tweaks though. Just need an easy way to break them down. Maybe into categories? Communications, tools, media, etc, etc..

No problems, you are welcome.
Android? NO! First you must be sure that you have the original ROM. you must do at least once a flash STOCK ROM Win-Mobile. Only when you know it, move on to the Android.

how would i come to know about the RAM thing? please give me or suggest me some study material than i will come back to you -

How to find my original ROM?
A Stock ROM is the phone's operating system (OS) that comes with your phone when you buy it.
A Stock ROM loock like: RUU_Photon_HTC_Europe_1.36.401.1_Radio_Signed_32.2 803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe is a complete software package released by HTC, it contain thingslike Radio, ROM, bootloader, etc... all in one exe.
Go to phone - start - settings-phone info-Software info. Now you know which ROM you should search.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25868835&postcount=3
A Custom ROM is a modifyed version of the OS.For you now is not interesting, and do not try custom ROMs for now. What you need is the original ROM, so that if the problem happens with Android, you could come back to Win-Mo.

ahan
below are my phone' OS details
os version: 5.2.23127(23127.5.3.7)
Manila version: 2.5.20153029.0
ROM version: 1.41.161.1(10904) WWE
ROM date: 10/15/10
Radio version: 0.63.05.41

Difference between an android and windows mobile - is huge. What you personally prefer? you must to know.
I will help you to try one android port for photon ...Android porting is already 2 years or more in development and not yet finished (means that it contains bugs and some parts or components do not work, for example GPS, BT, CAM, SOUND etc.) and I have no idea when it might be finished, hopefully soon, but that's just my hope ...
Please concentrate on what I have written before; Flash original ROM! Let's try this:
RUU_Photon_Vodafone_UK_1.41.161.1_Radio_Signed_32.2807.05.06_0.63.05.41_Ship.exe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860636

What is teh difference between
RUU_Photon_HTC_Europe_1.36.401.1_Radio_Signed_32.2 803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe
and
RUU_Photon_Vodafone_UK_1.41.161.1_Radio_Signed_32. 2807.05.06_0.63.05.41_Ship.exe
!!

The second one is branded by Vodafone UK for his customers and has a newer radio version.
I see you have the latest radio 0.63.05.41. IMO, the radio version from windows is most important for android.
