Frequently Used Acronyms in PPC World
Frequently Used Acronyms in PPC World
.CAB Files : Cabinet - is the Microsoft Windows native compressed archive format. cab files are files used to install programs. cab files are similar to what you might know as .exe files from your PC. cab files can be downloaded directly to your Hermes with Wifi or GPRS, you can also transfer them to your Hermes using File Explorer on your PC. cab files are not supposed to be unpacked/unzipped on the PC. Copy the intact .cab file as you downloaded it directly to your Hermes
ActiveSync :This program by Microsoft is what we all use to connect to our computers at work or at home. It allows contacts, tasks, emails and Calendar events to be synchronised with Outlook aswell as such things as media and favorites. In Windows Vista this has been replaced by the Windows Mobile Device Center. In addition ActiveSync allows browsing of the device in Windows Explorer.
AKU: Adaptation Kit Update - they usually patch up existing bugs and enable several new features. Each newly released AKU pack retains fixes found in previous versions of AKU. Starting with Windows Mobile 5 Microsoft began a policy of updates similar to that of the desktop windows. Rather the replacing the whole OS some functionality may be added. For example AKU 2.0 introduced push mail. These updates are distributed through the OEMs and are given to the consumer in form of ROM updates. Note that OEM may choose not to create an update with the latest AKU for their devices. Getting an AKU for your phone is like getting the SP2 (Service Pack 2) for your Windows Xp.
Application Unlock: Most Windows Mobile devices only allow you to load applications that have an acceptable digital signature. If you try to edit the registry or load an application it will give you an error. Application Unlocking removes this barrier and allows you to install any application or edit the registry to your liking.
Baked ROM : that the original shipped complete ROM (CE, Extended and radio) has been modified. A Baked ROM could have a CE ROM from one operator, a Radio stack from a second operator, an Extended ROM from a third operator or even a “cooked” extended ROM.
Bootloader : The bootloader is the first thing to load once you turn on the device, this does the job of booting up the device hardware and loading various items into memory before the ROM starts in the device. The bootloader is also responsible for enabling the flashing of new ROMs and other components such as the Radio and the Ext_ROM. Two modified bootloaders for the Hermes are HardSPL and SSPL. To enter the bootloader, press and hold the OK and POWER buttons while inserting the stylus into the reset hole on the bottom of the Hermes.
Chef / Cook : Its a term coined by the developer community to refer to people who build custom ROMs ( ie; people who cooks ROM ). Personal favourites are : Jasjamming and Schaps
CID lock (aka vendor lock): Carrier Id - put on your device by the manufacturer to prevent installation of a ROM not released by them. Commonly used in the form `CID-Unlocking`. If you purchase your phone (example) from 3Mobile (3Mobile is the ‘carrier’), your phone will only accept 3Mobile ROMs (the carrier’s ROMs). If you want to flash ROMs from other carrier, you’ll need to CID-unlock your phone, so that your phone will accept other ROMs. All bootloaders (apart from HardSPL and SSPL) will only allow a ROM with the correct CID to be flashed onto the device. A device which has been CID unlocked will have ‘SuperCID’ which allows ANY ROM to be loaded onto the device, SuperCID also unlocks the Ext_ROM and allows it to be mounted. Note: In general, the phrase ‘unlock your phone’ usually refers to SIM-unlock, not CID unlock.
Cooked ROM : means that the ROM has been modified with other files
CustomRUU: is an RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) which has support for all SPL versions including HardSPL and SSPL.
Device Lock : The device lock is a today screen plugin that locks all the buttons (and the touch screen) until you unlock it, it will allow you to answer calls. To use it simply tap the ‘device unlocked’ today item and it will lock the device, to unlock press the left hand soft key and tap the unlock button on screen.
Dopod 838 Pro / i-mate JASJAM / O2 Xda Trion / HTC TyTN : all of these are essentially the same deice
ExtROM: Extended ROM - is the section of the ROM which the distributor of the phone (eg O2, T-Mobile, iMate, etc) store their customization (eg Today theme, ring tones, extra software) data. In WM5, the customization data will be automatically installed after the initial configuration (after every hardreset), just after the security section. In most cases, ExtROM can be unlocked to allow users to store/build their own customizations that will be automatically installed upon every hardreset.
Firmware: This is a piece of software that is stored in a device to make it function. It is, unlike ordinary software, usually semi-permanent and resides in a non-volatile storage area which is unaffected by “hard resetting” a device. The term usually refers to low-level code that controls individual hardware components such as a radio rom.
Flashing : a ROM is the process putting a new ROM on your device or otherwise know as upgrading.
Hard Reset : Switch the device off. Press and hold the Left SOFT KEY and Right SOFT KEY, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device. You will be presented with a menu saying ‘press R to reset, X to exit’. If you press R, your device will be set back to factory default settings. Hard Reset will delete all data you have put on the device: Programs, Settings, Mail, SMS, MMS, etc., so be careful and make a backup before doing this. After a hard reset, you will have a complete clean new install of Windows Mobile on your device. Data on \Storage Card & \Extended_Rom folder will not be deleted
Frequently Used Acronyms in PPC World
HardSPL : This modified bootloader (by Olipro) allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permenently bricking your Hermes device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing.
IPL: Initial Program Loader - It boots up SPL. Its the bootloader for PPC, much like the BIOS is the boot loader for your PC. Note: IPL/SPL are highly hardware dependent, flashing the wrong IPL/SPL is much more serious than a flashing the wrong ROM. It may be noted that, sometimes a ROM package also contains the IPL/SPL which will be flashed into your phone. Hence be extra careful what you are flashing. Note: although a ROM may also contains the IPL/SPL
OEM : Original Equipment Manufacturer - is a company that supplied equipment to other companies to resell or incorporate into another product using the reseller’s brand name.
OS: Operating System - the platform software for your phone, much like the Windows Xp/Vista for your PC. Upgrading the OS is like, in PC terms upgrading from Windows XP to Windows Vista. Os for PPC are WM2002, WM 2003, WM2003SE, WM5, WM6
PIE : Pocket Internet Explorer - is the default browser that comes with the Windows Mobile Operating System.
PPC : Pocket PC - is a hardware specification for a Personal digital assistant that runs the Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system.
Program memory: The non-persistent memory part of WM5, which is used for all the temporary memory requirements, much like the RAM of your PC. A soft-reset or flat battery will erase everything from the program memory. You can’t adjust the ratio of Storage memory and Program memory in WM5 like WinCE2003.
Radio: commonly used in the form `upgrading the Radio/GSM` - in the field of ROM upgrading. The `Radio` is essentially a ROM that controls the phone function part (as oppose to PDA function part) of your phone. Upgrading this `Radio` software may have effect on your phone reception quality, battery life (optimized phone function), signal strength, etc.
RIL: Radio Interface Layer -
ROM: Read Only Memory - commonly used in the form of `ROM upgrade`. The ROM is the firmware/software, which controls everything on your phone. ROM itself usually comes in a package, with IPL/SPL, OS, Radio, and ExtRom. However, in most cases, `upgrading a ROM` usually means just the OS and the ExtRom, as these are the obvious/visible part of an ROM upgrade.
RTM : Release to Manufacturing or Ready to Market.
RUU: ROM Upgrade Utility - Its the s/w used on your PC to do a ROM upgrade for your PPC
SIM: Subscriber Identity Module - commonly used in the form `SIM unlock`. Some phones are locked to the specific telco from which you purchase your phone, eg you can’t use a locked 3Mobile phone with a Vodaphone SIM/smart card. To use SIM card from other telco, you need to SIM unlock your phone. Note: In general, the phrase ‘unlock your phone’ usually refers to SIM-unlock, not CID unlock.SIM Unlock: Use any carrier’s SIM in the device.
SIP : Software Input Panel - for devices that does not have a hardware keyboard the SIP is used to enter data on to the PPC eg: the software keyboard, Symbol Pad, Block Recoganizer, etc . Note : SIP can also stand for Session Initiation Protocol , check the wikipedia entry SIP as a voice over IP protocol.
Smartphone : Pre WM6 class, Smartphone is defined as a mobile phone which offers advanced capabilities like that of a PC. It will not have a touchscreen as compared to a Pocket PC. With the introduction of WM6 all mobile phone devices running Windows Mobile are no classed as Windows Mobile powered Smartphones
Soft Reset : Put your stylus in the hole in the lower left corner. Soft Reset will reboot your device just like when you reboot your PC. No data will be lost, under normal circumstances.
SPL: Secondary Program Loader - Loads the actual OS.
SSPL : is a modified bootloader (by Des) which is loaded into RAM when run, this allows us to overwrite any aspect of the ROM, Radio or Bootloader far easier than using mtty.
Storage memory: The persistent memory part of WM5, where all the files and documents are kept, much like the hard disk of your PC. Data in the storage memory is unaffected by soft-reset or a flat battery. You can’t adjust the ratio of Storage memory and Program memory in WM5 like WinCE2003.
SuperCID : by CID unlocking your device the value of the CID is changed to SuperCID . This allows the flashing of ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier and also unlocks the read/write capability of the Ext_ROM.
Touch Cube : usually simply referred to as the Cube. It is a 3d navigation interface created by HTC that uses their TouchFlo technology. The interface was introduced with the HTC Touch and has since been used in several other devices. It has also been ported to devices that pre-date the Touch.
TouchFlo : This is the HTC version of the flick-to-scroll technology often associated with the iPhone. This is not to be confused with the Touch Cube which is another HTC technology. It was 1st seen in HTC Touch.
TouchFlo 3D : this was code named ” Manilla ” and is another HTC technology , its an extension on to the today screen to give the user a finger friendly approach to using the PPC. It was 1st seen with the Touch Diamond.
UI : User Interface - some notable examples would be TouchFlo, PointUI
USSD : Unstructured Supplementary Service Data - is a capability of all GSM phones. It is generally associated with real-time or instant messaging type phone services. There is no store-and-forward capability that is typical of ‘normal’ short messages. Response times for interactive USSD based services are generally quicker than those used for SMS. Its used to send text between a mobile phone and an application program in the network eg: *123# for balance etc.
USIM : Universal Subscriber Identity Module - is an SIM for UMTS mobile telephony running on 3G mobile network.
WindowsCE / WinCE : aka Windows Embedded CE since version 6.0 Microsoft has stated that the ‘CE’ is not an intentional initialism, but many people believe CE stands for ‘Consumer Electronics’ or ‘Compact Edition’;The first version, was known during development under the codename “Pegasus”.
WM: Windows Mobile - the OS of the PPC
WM Classic : Windows Mobile Classic - the OS for PPC device without a phone.
WM Professional : Windows Mobile Professional - the OS for Phone enabled device with a touchscreen (formerly Phone Edition).
WM Standard : Windows Mobile Standard - the OS for Phone enabled device without a touchscreen (formerly Smartphone).
WWE Edition: World Wide English Edition - Its usually appended along with new ROM releases , to show that its a ROM that will have English as the default Language
WDA : Wireless Digital Assistant - This is the term that Hewlett Packard coined with their new 928 WDA Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition which integrates a cell phone with a Pocket PC.
XDA : Extended Digital Assistant - This the term that O2 coined with their new Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition which integrates a cell phone with a Pocket PC.
XIP : Execute in Place - The execution of a program stored in ROM or flash that is run directly from the location where it is stored. The execution does not require the program to be copied into ram before execution. This reduces the amount of ram that an application requires since it does not all have to load into RAM.
oh thanks dude

First of all you need to make sure that you have the latest version of Active Sync.
then follow one of the Wiki Guides
I am using this Rom and have had no problems
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403421
Also what Radio version Etc do you have
my problem is i cant upagrde other because the active sync close automaticily and then in the upgrade window say connection error 101
what is radio version ?
waht i can se in my smartphone is only CE 5.2.19209 (build 19209.1.0.2)
radio version 1.13.00
Uninstall and re-install active sync (V4.5)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/activesync45.mspx
Also make sure that yo have set it to connect.
I had to hard reset
Hold power and push pointer into bottom of device
This site should also have some pointers

Let me know how you get on..
Just thought,
have you added a EXT ROM package ie - one with office and some other programmes
I added one from another user (not ROM Cooker) and had similar problems.

dont work
why active synce lose automaticly?
I am not quite sure
do you have a card reader as there is a ROM on here that can be done with an SD card
i got a crad reader but
do any rom exist
and if i connect it normaly with not wana upgrade activ sync dont close automaticly
and i can transfer data but only if i wana upgrade them then active synce close automaticly
I have double checked and I am wrong, you canot upgrade ROM via SD Card.
Try switching your USB socket and updating drivers.
I wil look and see if there are any other solutions
I lie there is a way
1. Woking blue angel (with WM2003)
2. You need mtty
3. SD Card at least 64MB
Open mtty, put sd card in
Type:
Code:
USB>d2s 70020000 1060000 sd
MTTY is some kind of terminal emulation software, and in this case it is used to communicate to serial and/or USB enabled devices. On the HTC devices (including the Universal) it enables you to issue a selection of commands that allow you to read the status of som eof the components, to clear the bootloader flags, to format the internal flashdisk etc etc
mhh what i need to do?
i put mtty in sd card and sd card in mda III or in notebook?
oh man its so easy press recor button close button and reset button
now bootloadermode^^
and now i can upgrade^^
but thx for your help
Two days ago, out of the blue, my Acer S200 F1 Neotouch went dead despite soft resets and a full battery. It is using ROM S200_2.003.01_EN_02, running WindowsMobile 6.5 Professional, CE OS 5.2.21857 (Build 21857.5.0.66) 2009. I have never updated the ROM ever since I bought the S200 last month, and have never intended to.
Twice last month, I did a clean boot successfully, but with some difficulty. Sometimes the clean boot would hang from the start, or hang at the Windows logo, or hang when installing any one of the 25 components. But I still succeeded after some struggle.
But two days ago, my S200 went dead for no obvious reason. A soft reset did not help. I can wake it up for Clean Booting, but the Clean Boot would either hang from the start, or at the Windows logo, or go into endless repetition, or hang while installing a component (e.g. 13/25, the Notification Manager). A couple of times I managed to get a basic Windows Mobile system running on the S200, but it is unstable, prone to automatic Clean Boot, and cannot install .cab files.
I did all kinds to assist the Clean Boots, including removing/reinserting the battery, removing the MicroSD card, removing/inserting the SIM card, plugging the phone into/out of external power, pressing two buttons while resetting with the stylus (or pressing three buttons, or all four buttons). Despite getting the “Clean Boot” display at the beginning, the symptoms are not the same with each Clean Boot. I find it strange that every clean boot attempt behaves differently. I thought that a hard reset would be repeatable and predictable, yet it varies with every clean boot attempt.
Finally I tried using the following two updates:
OS_Acer_3.003c.01.EN.02_WM65_A.zip
OS_Acer_2.003.00.EN_WM65_A.zip
But there would be a “connection error” just before the ROM update window. The problem is the same with three desktop computers: Vista SP2, Vista SP1, XP SP3, despite taking all precautions (e.g. updating the .NET framework to the latest service packs). I have also managed to get the Acer HS USB driver going, whatever it is.
MY QUESTION: Can I do a ROM update without connecting to a computer, e.g. by copying some file to the MicroSD card, and pressing some keys? I read somewhere you can press three buttons (volume down, camera, reset) plus the reset button to enter “bootloader” mode. What is this mode? I did manage to get the S200's LED flashing red. Was the S200 expecting a file with a specific name at a specific location on the MicroSD card?
If the S200's ROM is corrupted, can it be restored or updated? I mean, does flashing the ROM require an ActiveSync connection to the desktop PC? And if the ROM is corrupted, how can it fix itself if it lacks the ability to connect to the desktop? (It takes a healthy pda to do an Activesync.) My old ASUS can flash the ROM via the MicroSD card; I don't know if Acer phones have that feature.
The funny thing is that I am not a person who experiments with ROM flash updates and things like that, although I am semi-computer-literature (I program in Delphi to create some freeware). I didn’t intend to add fancy things to the S200; I just want a stable pda for five or six programs (e.g. a Bible program).
The flash ROM restoration/update problem seems to be a problem with Acer than with Microsoft. I think I should have bought an HTC instead. But I could not afford the Windows HTC I wanted.
Any advice? Any URL with the proper information? Thanks in advance. If this problem is solved, I will try to be useful and constructive for the XDA-Developer forums.

Download ARTS's rom and unzip.
Put the S200 to bootloader mode (camera + power at the same time - light will be blinking red) and then connect it to your PC. Run the "ACER_EUU.exe" & flash a new rom...enjoy...
At the begining i also got connection errors becuase i didnt used the original USB cable that came with the device. This could be a problem if you are using another cable that doesn´t have the full pin layout.
P.S. What Bible program are you using?
Thanks Stress Analyst
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_20100202.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.
Thanks for your help, and best wishes,
Benjamin
Bible programs
Dear BrainMaster,
I am using Olive Tree and Laridian Pocket Bible. I like them both, but for different reasons. Olive Tree is faster and has Greek and Hebrew texts. Pocket Bible has better typography and a good collection of commentaries. I find myself using Olive Tree much more often than Laridian Pocket Bible. I am not using mobile e-Sword because it doesn't work on my S200.

hi i am trying to upgrade my Typhoon to 6.1 but i haver got to the point in the upgrading process in which i need to restart and press 0 for the IU the only issue is i do not recive this message and i cannot get any further.
Edit: my SPL is 2.05.0130
you must go to the patched SPL 1.09 for Typhoon befor you go any further.
yes it is true said tobbie, with 1.09 SPL you can flash any rom like WM6.1 or WM6.5 on your Typhoon
for SPL 1:09 Can you get HERE
oh well ive tried poatching the spl before but i just recive errorr 260 or 240 and i cannont make no progress i have tried using a different computer but to no avail
oh well... if the device is still original, then you must follow a sequence of actions to allow such upgrade.
These should be mentioned in any custom rom thread. Essentially you must get the SPL 1.09 on the device then you can load any custom ROM.
1. application unlock the old OS
2. CID unlock the device with lokiwiz toolset
3. load SPL 1.09
4. load custom ROM
good luck!
I belive i have already application unlocked and supercided it with lokiwiz toolset but i have peforemd a hard reset due to that connection issue, would that haver affected it in anyway? thanks
If you are back the old WM2k3 and you cannot upgrade the SPL, then lokiwiz probably has not super-CID your device. To check, connect your device in Bootloader mode to mtty (with AS having USB disabled) and enter "info 1" (no quotes) then try "info 2" (no quotes) and report both results.
Not sure about above myself as I have no device at hand today to check right now.
Hard reset does not affect the CID or SIM Unlock - these are stored in the encrpyted area of the ROM (64kb Block) that is not affected by Hard-Rest or OS-flashing.
sorry for my noobiness but it will not show in mtty i have tried the usb drivers? but the phone does not show in mtty
You must make sure that Active Sync (Windows XP) or Mobile Device Center is not using the USB port to connect the device. You can disable the use in Active Sync selecting the "Connections" menu and then disabling there.
Reconnect the device and restart mtty. The USB button will be there only if the USB connection is accessible and the device is connected to the USB port.
sorry for the bump but ive came back to my phone and i am having so my trouble superCIDin the phone i have done everything by the book, ive hard reset the phone and tried everything again and now SDA unclokder says "phone is not unlockable" and the lokiwiz.bat will not super cid it.
Look at mediafire in my kitchen folder here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?3tt15dyp4mbuu
the "...one time per device" ZIP has all tools inside. There is another (on board application unlock) that will do the trick. It installs a tool on the device, execute it there first and then start SDA Unlock. No need to reboot as the changed security policies are active immediately.
i downloaded your kitchen and i ran the htcunlock the the sda unlocker still says the phone is unlockable
So these Orange devices are quite resistant to application unlock. Did you notice that the HTC Unlocker kind of "remote controls" a registry editor? It may be that the changes did not really go through.
It is quite complicated and a lot of trial and error what you will have to do and I cannot advise in detail as I have no such device.
Key is that the application that changes the policy on the device is permitted to do so. Usually as well SDA Unlocker (remotely via the RAPI Policy) or the signed Registry editor controlled via HTC Unlocker can do that. It all goes to the registry keys in HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies where the relevant policy IDs have to assigned the right values (role permissions). You can use the free CE-Command (from ghisler.com) which has a registry tool built in or the same registry editor that HTC Unlcok controls to check if the values that the tools try to write are really written or not. I suspect they are simply NOT written. If you cannot find a tool that can change the policy, then there is another way around this:
The Gold Card method. Get the trial version of "revskills" from www.revskills.com and create a gold card with the device for the "Typhoon". With this card in the device, the SPL will allow ANY (also non Orange) signed ROM to be loaded. Use any non Orange shipped ROM for the Typhoon and load it to the device. This OS should allow to change the application lock and also allow the further steps.
Mind that ROMs for the Feeler or Amadeus have different key-handling (especially for the joystick) - so best you get also a Typhoon ROM for that exercise.
I think in the Tornado Forum was once a description how to unlock a Cingular 2125, possibly similar actions may allow you the first step. Not sure here though.
thanks for your help i beelive that your tool changes the registrey values correctly im nnot sure about this i have tried running it a few times but with the same results
Just to reassure that: Your device is not CID unlocked yet after all the trials you did? What does the SPL tell when you enter "info 2" in mtty connected?
Do you know how to work with a PC registry editor and to connect with the device? There are several that can do that, e.g. "Registry Workshop" or "Smartione" or "CE Regeditor". All these can connect to the device via Active Sync and read out the HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies branch.
Could you just post the export of that branch here?
You can also do that on board the device with CECmd, get into virtual two window mode, on one side go to the branch above (exactly, on top of the second "\Policies"), on the other in any file-directory, can also be root. Then on the registry side press "5" for copy and confirm to copy the "\Policies" branch to the other side. You get a text file called "policies.reg" - attach or post it here.
Finally you could search for the Microsoft tool "security configuration manager". This allows to select the security model "Security off" - once applied to the device the lokiwiz should run with success.
I've followed the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17205291
and stopped at the step 14. Thus I've just flashed my HTC HD2 from WM6.5 to WP7, upgraded via Zune to 7.10.7712.60.
Questions:
(1) I want to keep ability to upgrade my HD2/WP7 through Zune in future (no manual pushing of cab-files).
Would I be able to do that if I now did the optional steps 15.-16. and apply cab-files to upgrade to HD2-7720 (WP7 Mango)?
(2) For the moment I cannot activate my Windows Live ID. My device is currently identified as HTC HD2 (Settings -> About) and I cannot apply chevronwp7.exe to modify model name (it works for 7004/7008 only).
Can I call to Microsoft to obtain activation code? Or should I first change model name somehow?
(3) I want to develop apps for WP7 and guess it's better to jailbreak the device.
Can I do that with 7712/7720 (e.g., with WP7 Update Cab Sender or Application Deployment included in MS Windows Phone Developer Tools)? Or the only way is to re-flash WP7 from the beginning: to 7004 (or 7008), crack with chevronwp7.exe, change model name, upgrade again to 7712/7720?
Thanks,
Michael

Can I do that with 7712/7720 (e.g., with WP7 Update Cab Sender or Application Deployment included in MS Windows Phone Developer Tools)? Or the only way is to re-flash WP7 from the beginning: to 7004 (or 7008), crack with chevronwp7.exe, change model name, upgrade again to 7712/7720?
Thanks,
Michael

2. this no matter... in registry is HD7 info and you can activate Live services without problem... you only give Name and phone number to microsoft... nothing else
3. ROM is already jailbreaked... dont forged to do hard reset when done upgrade to 7720...
@dxdy
Thanks for the clarification.
Regarding 3.
If it's jailbroken, does it mean I can install apps directly without Windows Marketplace? How? What else can I do (e.g., access file system etc.)?
yes, use Tom XAP Installer
hello guys,
i searched all the internet about my problem but all results dont help me now, so i hope this board can help me with the smartphone problem!
my HTC HD Mini (Photon) was my business-smartphone (now i have the iPhone).
I never changed any on the HTC Smartphone, actually the Original Software on the Phone with WM6.5 (i´m from Austria!)
Bootinfo (Press PowerOn and Volume down):
PB92100
SPL-1.07.0000
ENGID 0xF
PCBID 0x80
MicroP(LED) 0x05
TP SYNAPTICS
------------------------------
Sorry forgotten: i installed SPB-Home, but with "off" for the automaticly BackUp Option! - Never i had connected the smartphone with PC/Laptop!
------------------------
Now to my problem with the HTC HD Mini (Photon):
Our Business Rules says the Smartphones must have a "Hardware"-Password, i mean the Lockscreen Password - before HomeScreen! - not the SIM-Card-Password!!!
since weeks/months my HTC dont accept my lockscreen password, the device go back to continue the lockscreen password entry, without error or any!
i read many articels at internet, and the results says: it´s a bug on WM6.5 and the answer for this bug is "Hardware Reset" - but with Hardware-Reset all personality datas are away.
unfortunately i dont have a backup from my smartphone (my data), and there are many important data on it, so i cant accept lose all the data - my businessadministrator can´t also help me.
Now my Question to this Board, and i hope someone can help!
Only i want the Data from my Smartphone (Contacts, SMS etc.), installed programs and anothers on the smartphone are not important!
1) Is there any way (chance) to go in the smartphone with a tool/program by the PC (without Program says Unlock your Device, all Programs what i have say UnlockDevice to Connect)
2) Is there any Chance to Boot the Device from SD-Card?, when some Software packed on it (when yes - which software?), same like PC Boot says: "want boot from SD-card" (remember: i cant installing programs or apps at device now)
3) Exist a flash without losing personality data
4) Or any other possibility than of the articles listed overhead
PLEASE help me to recover/safe my data from my smartphone! so i have a backup or anything. so after the hardware reset i have all personality datas on smartphone without WM6.5 bug.
Many Thanks
DarkDream
