Can someone tell me how to change Vodafone Compact from German to English in a simple way and not refering to other pages I look them all but couldn't do it I got the Rom plus MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file what is the use of this file.
When you say you have the rom, do you have the executable ROM upgrade file? If yes, use a program like winrar to unpack the exe file. Place the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe in the same folder as the MaUpgradeUt.exe file. Sync your VPA and wait for activesync to stop. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program. That should be it.
It's pretty hard to mess up the VPAs, just give it a try.
Thanks a lot I have nothing to loose I have to give it a try even I have to loose it I can't use because my German is ZERO the question I downloaded the rom and the MaUpgradeUt when I double click on the Icon it makes automatic instelation what about if I syncronise I just use the rom without MaUpgradeUt will work Thanls
If you just try to install it it will fail because the country code for the rom is different then the country code for the phone. Unpacking the update and using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe bypasses the country code check and will let you install roms from other regions.
Thanks verey much Buddy it works finally the first time it gives Country error then every thing went dead the secound time it went through since I am putting arabic rom some of the were not OK and was asking for re instulation I tried to do it again to install those files but it keep giving Country error for 4 time I gave up and I am happy of what I got thanks to YOU
My main phone is my M3100 which I've been using for a few months now, and wanted to update to the latest ROM from Orange (http://www.business.orange.co.uk/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Business&c=OUKPage&cid=1044134915191) hoping to resolve a call dropping problem I'd been experiencing lately.
My father recently upgraded to the same phone but hadn't used his yet, this too had the same firmware version as the one I have so I decided to update his first as he had no personal data stored on it.
Downloaded the 42Mb file, tried to run it but received an error. I googled this and found most people to be using winrar to extract the update files from the Orange .exe, which I did. This seemed to complete fully in about 10min and no problems showed up. I rebooted the phone but it just went back into the three colour screen. The update from Orange now doesn't recognise the phone so I'm unable to run that again.
On the bootloader screen is displayed:
HERM100
I PL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.09
Then at the bottom it says Serial (or USB if connected)
I gave Orange a call on handset faults tonight but they were already closed.
Could anyone point me in the right direction here please, I'm really stuck on this and the worst bit is it isn't my phone.
Thanks in advance.
No worries.
I suspect your phone will be fine.
Check the following:
The Wiki
The upgrading forum
The bricked Hermes thread
Or, maybe someone hanging out at the IRC channel can help out.
Thanks for that. I'll have a look through the links you've given.
As the update was provided by Orange I presumed it would be straight forward and work, seems I was wrong.
It is easy - all you need to do is establish an activesync connection and then double click the orange .exe fike you downloaded... What needs extracting?

Yeah, that's what I thought. I've applied updates to Windows Mobiles in the past like this and they worked fine.
When I double click the orange .exe file I get an error message which says part is corrupt, I've downloaded it several times but it still says it's corrupt in some way. The way around this I found on google was to use winrar to extract the exe and run the update file found within it.
I now can't establish an activesync connection and get Invalid Vendor ID error saying it can't be used on this device.

Just general advice this is mate -
As a rule of thumb I'd only 'force' the extraction of files from a currupt download, be it exe or another type, if you are looking from one or some files from within that set which may have survived the corruption. Even then it depends very much on what you're doing with the files afterward. If unsure, best avoided.
With the rom update, you're getting an exe file - albeit a compressed, self-extracting file that WinRAR or Winzip, 7-Zip etc. can work with - that really does need everything within it intact to work.
You've been unlucky in a way because had a different part of the download been corrupt it might not have run in the first place after extraction.
Hopefully you've got it all up and running by now from the pages posted above.

I was a little reluctant to try what I did, but had read of others who'd had the same issue with the download and it had worked for them.
Hinesight is a great thing
I had a go the other night at it but didn't get anywhere, about to have another go now.
Hello everyone,
first merry x-mas.
I spended a whole afternoon to find the accelerator of GPS for my trinity.
on the forum, there are three tools exist:
1. QGPS from http://www.avaricum.net/qgps.cab
2. SeaSGEE
3. a modified QuickGPS from P3300
QGPS is unique FOR HP DEVICE, SeaSGEE and the QuickGPS from P3300 are FOR SiRF Star chips which download a "packedEphemeris.ee" to the windows root.
It's been a misunderstood on this forum that many members think that trinity has a SiRF Star Chips.
But, as a matter of factor, what's in trinity is a Qualcomm gpsONE chipset. (qualcomm 6280). And the right satellite map file for qualcomm chipset is "xtra.bin".
So actually, trinity MUST use the same QuickGPS as Kaiser or Diamond which use the same Qualcomm BRAND.
Somehow the quickGPS is coded uniquely for Kaiser or diamond, on trinity it will say connetion failed.
With some luck I found the quickgps.exe cracked for any deviced, version which download xtra.bin instead of packedEphemeris.ee
Tested after a hard reset (so that's sure that will be a cold start of the gps), and the quickgps really works like a charm, tomtom finished his first location within 30 seconds.
Hope this will be helpful for all of you. good luck
At last a quick gps that works.
thanks for sharing
Thanks. It works properly in my Tinity. I've just renamed QuickGPS.exe.0409.mui to QuickGPS.exe.0C0A.mui, because I use a Spanish ROM.
Best Regards !
Hi,
Are you sure that it's working ?
I've just try the cab.
It's download the xtra.bin from the webserver but it didn't upload it to the radio module.
I enabled "AT command debug" for retrieving the content of the exchange from the PPC part (samsung) and the MSM6275.
Connection to the GPS port send the [email protected] commant but didnt upload the xtra.bin...
And i've just try to have a fix on my place.
It's take exactly the same time as before.
For your information, the msm6275 retrieve the ephemeris over the air thru the low speed like provided by the GPS system.
This , as read on the Trinity Service Manual, take 35 sec on average.
This Ephemeris is stocked on the radio part of the MSM6275.
It's have 4 hour of validity time.
So, if you try to connect , even after hard reset (since hard reset only reset the ppc part), this ephemeris is ok.
You will normally have a fix within 15 sec in this case.
I also have found the best way to improve the fix time on the trinity.
You have to use he "GPS sharing" fonction provided by wm.
I set it to share the GPS on COM4 . The original GPS COM port is COM9.
After that, i start a GPS information software on COM4 and also TOMTOM at the same time.
I have to also be on stationned position ( car stopped ).
The fix take less than 35 sec in 95% of the case.
Canope
I am usually a sceptic when it comes to those tools but I just installed this (also had to rename Windows/QuickGPS.exe.0409.mui, in my case to QuickGPS.exe.0407.mui for German ROM).
I went outside and I got a fix in about 45 seconds which is unusual for my street. I'll keep an eye on the GPS fix times.
EDIT: I just read what canope wrote and now I'm not so sure if my mind wasn't just playing tricks on me. Debugging the AT commands seems a more scientific method. Could someone do the same for a device like Kaiser or Diamond to check if the upload can be seen there?
Italian MUI
My italian mui for this QuickGps version
i'am using a portuguese rom any help to put it working ?
Yes: go to your windows dir, look for files ending with XXXX.mui.dll to find out what the portuguese number is (XXXX for germany is 0407).
Then copy Windows/QuickGPS.exe.0409.mui to your PC, change 0409 to the ID you found and copy it back.
You can then delete the english QuickGPS.exe.0409.mui if you want.
This will make it appear to work but as canope pointed out it may well be equally useless as all earlier tools for Trinity.
hello canope,
u give me a right way to verify it.
I enabled both my trinity and diamond.
based on the log file, diamond doesnt show a upload command neither.
I dont know if at log will write down this action.
I can understand why u think the xtra.bin is not uploaded. the SiRF Star chip absorts the packedEphemeris.ee, and the file will disappear in windows root. (based on my knowledge of tomtom one 1)
Somehow Qualcomm chip doesnt act the same way, it leaves xtra.bin in windows root all the time. (based on my test on diamond)
besides, the log file is uploaded, u can see the diamond dont even show [email protected] command after starting a Tomtom
This tool definitely works. Fix within 30 secs with Google Maps and haven't used GPS on this ROM yet.
Hi, can you try this sequence on the diamond, with atdbgcmd on:
- shutdown it;
- start it;
- launch quickgps, update the ephemeris;
- start tomtom or other gps client;
- copy the atdbg file located on /temp to another place;
You will normally see commands like [email protected]
the [email protected] is hardcoded on the quickgps binary file.

hello, the log i have uploaded is actually the sequences u demend.
Did you have taskmanager on your mobile phone ?
I've noticed something strange on the at command logs.
There is an agpsadress setted.
I'm interrested to know which diamond rom version you have ?

yes, i noticed that too. the rom is official RUU_Diamond_HTC_FRA_1.93.406.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
[email protected] may have string in QuickGPS code, yet it's on propose for the acient device such as p3300 (SiRF STAR again) which i can recell it's where the first version of quickgps is found. the programmer normally doesnt rewrite the code completely.
another exemple is the log file I have provided, diamond doesnt even have [email protected] which trinity has. different devices have some different AT commands.
For another deep study case, I found the gps tool in the forum, which explain how ＠setgps works (cool, warm, hot, xtra start) just use setgps.exe and restart the device.
One thing I must point out, on the SiRF STAR chip, packedEphemeris.ee is upload automaticly by the code of windows ce, quickgps has nothing coded to do with the upload thing. if you place a packedEphemeris.ee in the windows root (a sirf star chip of cause), modify HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\EE\AcessTime, the packedEphemeris.ee will be uploaded and disappear.
Thanx
one Question: Dose it effect Battery?
This confirm my feeling.
QuickGPS cannot work on the trinity.
For me, the ephemeris is uploaded by something else.
I think it uploaded by the rilgsm.dll.
This file contain the ril driver specifically made for the device.
So, for me , the rilgsm.dll Diamond's files is in charge of the uploading.
Can you send me back this file for the diamond ?
For your information, i was the first one who have gps fonction on the trinity .
Check on the forum, you will find my contribution to the trinity .
I've send the first radio gsm enabled rom and the necessary files ( rilgsm.dll included).
So , for me , the rilgsm il in charge of this actions.

Hi
I don't know if this quickgps works or not, I can't verify because it's snowing and the fix is difficult. My nmea log is about 90kb and after 5 minutes no fix at all...
But inside the package there is a registry key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS]
"region"="US"
Have you tried to change it to the country you live? And does the server provides information for more than a country?
Ciao
works for me
I'm no expert and don't know anything about the inner working of a GPS but I tryied the file this morning and in a cloudy day while speeding on a motorway got a fix in 30 sec. (+/-) - haven't used the GPS for over a week before this morning -
I had the same fast fix with the latest PDAMobiz ROM's too so there must be a way to speed up the fix on the trinity and really think that this is it
BTW if is just my mind playing games with me - well I'm happy just as well
thanks a lot to themaskfly for posting this and happy new year to all

After install, and verify the registry, i already had my région without change it :

QuickGPS does make a difference
This program really does work! When I used the original HTC Radio ROM 1.46, it was very slow to obtain GPS fixes. But after upgrading to radio 1.56.70.11 (my base ROM is still the original WM6.0 WWE version 3.00.707.18) and installing QuickGPS (with corrected region to download the right data) fixes are now obtained very quickly from a cold start. That is compared to many occasions of waiting about 20 minutes prior to installing this software.
I did have to change the region in the registry [HKLM] - Software\HTC\QuickGPS\region because when I installed it, the default region was the US which also initially accounted for some slow fix times until corrected.
well, its the same old story as with earlier rom of udk! on r7 you cannot start quickgps due certificate-error. he earlier provided the quickgps as cab in his thread (i will add in here again)! just install it over included quickgps and now you're able to start quickgps. problem now: after round 79% of downloading quickgps seems to stop and shows error message. now switch to temp folder of polaris. in there you'll see a file called xtra.bin. copy or move this file to windows-directory of polaris. start quickgps and notice that it states a "last download-time", but file is expired... taking a closer look you'll notice that the "download-time" is one hour ahead your polaris-clock!!! this is the reason, why quickgps shows the file as expired. when waiting one hour or changing clock of polaris, everything will be the way its supposed to work.
for sure its not the final solution, but with camera fix posted by EZengin, the latest opera and google maps installed udk Syrius R7 is bomb again and no need for impatiently waiting till r8 will arrive!
possibly the misbehavior of quickgps is registry-related... when looking at hlkm\software\htc\quickgps you'll find keys like "region". changing this one to your country could solve the timezone shift between quickgps and polaris clock - for me it didnt work yet. maybe someone comes up with another idea for setting quickgps to "local-time" of polaris. and of course second problem is, why quickgps doesnt copy downloaded xtra.bin to windows by itself anymore...
cheers!
ps: why did i open a new thread? its quite simple, because everybody using udk-rom or is thinking about using it seems to struggle with this problem and with already 218 pages in original thread every "newbie" is asking for a quickgps-solution every second page again and it soon gets lost... no offence!
all I get is upto 73% and then it fails. has never worked since installing R7 or the so called fix

plz read and start over again (the whole message)...!!! as downloading xtra.bin is only a small step to success.
...or post more detailed what doesnt work for you AFTER applying above steps.
Hi i have a problem whit my quickgps.
I can download the xtra.bin file... but i have no idea of where it goes.
its not in anny temp map or in windows map.
in the registry it says that i should be in "\windows\" map...
annyone has the same problem?
and i downloaded a registry file.
"folder"="\\Windows\\"
that should be right way to type in registry and i have tried whit both one "\" and two "\"
still i canot find the xtra.bin file might be so that no xtra.bin file is created but the quickgps finnish its download.
