2 questions?

Hi guys I have 2 questions,
1: I have a MDA Compact 2 that has customised firmware by my employer, some application automatically install when its first turned on after a reset , I have just bought a second one as a spare, is there a way of cloning the firmware from the first one to the new spare?
2: is there a way of using the MDA as a Modem on my pc? We have web and talk but wool prefer to get internet via my laptop?
thanks

1. What brand are you in? T-mobile German, Czech? Which one?
2. Flash wm6, there is an easy way of sharing the MDA Compact II internet connection for PC.

its T-Mobile UK, i cant risk going to WM6 becuase of the mod's by my employer, it runs custom software.

If its been modified by extended rom only to install custom software/settings etc then you can just use Total Commander and browse to \Extended_Rom\ then copy all the files out of it. then on the other device, skip the original customization by soft reseting when its says its about to start, then install the list of extracted cabs from the business device.
For a bit more involved, you can take all the extracted files, build them into an image and then flash them to the other device overwriting the tmobile stuff so they'll always be on there.
If you pair the laptop with the phone, it should detect the presence of a bluetooth modem (not on AKU 3+ tho) which you can then use on the laptop as a new connection dialling *99#

Hi thanks for the reply, I have followed the instructions from here,
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Use+my+MDA+as+a+Modem?t=anon

[Q] Lost internet connection on laptop after upgrading Rom according to TUT

Hi,
I'm new hereand this is my first post.
I bought me a HTC Touch HD and it had it's original ROM so I wanted to upgrade it. I read the TUT from this site but got an error message when I executed the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156Olinex.exe. Then I tried tu update the official Rom from the HTC site (1.56.404.1). This was OK. Then I tried again the Olinex and it seemed ok but it took just a few seconds to complete the update! I did it again and it was exactly the same: Updated within seconds. The only differece is when it boots, the D shows 1.56.00.00 ...
But after this action my laptop which I used to do all these, lost it's internet connection!!! I can receive mails but can't send them and can't connect to any website. I normally use a wifi connection and when I tried the LAN connection it is the same: No internet connection!?!
My modem is working because I can connect to the internet via wifi with my touch HD and my desktop.
I'm sure I didn't change any settings on my laptop. However I installed activesync and Windows Zune. But as soon as I saw that zune was downloading a bunch of **** I decided to uninstall this. The same thing I did with activesync4.5.
Then I started to search the internet but couldn't find anything like this. Then I started rereading all kind of manuals from this forum and then I realised I didn't install de .net software but in Softwar I can see there is .net framework3.5 SPI on my XP SP3 laptop. I'm not shure if that is what is wrong?
I also have to mention that I don't have the official CD's for the Touch HD. So I don't know if you need to install any usb drivers for the device in XP. I got sometimes error messages when connecting the HD with usb to the laptop like unknown usb device or this device can use a faster usb connection (something like that).
I'm so frustrated now! I'm afraid I have to reinstall XP because I can't find out why I lost my internet connection on my laptop?
Is there anybody out there? who can help me with this wierd problem?
Regards,
Carlo

[Q] I can't access the internet via Data Connection

Hi All,
I have recently installed the DFT ROM om my HD2, I want to sync my contacts using my Windows Live account.
I got this message every time I tried to access the network data connection:
"can't connect
We're having a problem connecting to windows live. make sure you have good reception. if you do, the problem may be on the other end. wait a little while and try again"
and if I tried to access gmail:
"Not updated We're having a problem connecting to m.google.com. try again later.
Error Code: 80072FA8"
I tried both data connection and 3G connection.
does this ROM have such problems? what is the best ROM to install instead of my current ROM?

All the other roms are directly based off the original DFT rom. Only major difference would be the chevron is built in. Was fantastic for me since I had all sort of connect problems with chevron. I would use a rom that has that built in.
As far as data goes you would probably have to enter your apn. I had to. Or an easier way would be to load a rom that had chevron built in and download HTC Connection Setup from the market or sideload it and that should straighten that out.

[Q] Changing the Stock Desire ROM to new one

I have Eu HD2 which has the Stock Desire Rom installed and all is working fine but I would like to install a new ROM like one of the many that use Sense 3.0 or android 2.3.5. I would also like to have my SD card partitioned so I actually have space to install apps on my phone
How do I go about doing this?
PS- Sorry for the super Noob question :-/

PPS - the ROM I had in mind was

Thats great cheers! One small problem at the moment is I can't get my phone to sync with my PC now. I can get it to connect and I can view the files on it in Explorer but it won't "sync" - any ideas?
I have Windows 7 64bit

reinstall the drivers for activesync

That instruction about syncing / getting an active sync connection doesn't mean what it appears to mean. It simply means get a USB connection.
Put phone in bootloader, connect to USB, when word. "Serial" becomes "USB", that's an activesync connection and you can flash.

[Q] Guys Need Help

Hello
I know I will be repeating, but i have read many things and they just do not get into my thick head
so let me start
i bought a Samsung Focus from ebay.in (cell-force.in)
i got the phone. it had initial software (i think pre nodo) installed. i connected it to Zune to my PC, it took some time but it installed the latest release, i.e. 7720
now, when i further explored i found that it is not possible to install apps other than marketplace, also the great well known wifi bug
now I need your help
could someone please help me, what should I do to solve this
I want my device to be able to install any application I want
I want to connect to wifi (if solution for that ssid but available after rooting/unlocking/jailbreaking my focus)
Also, if I do jailbreaking, and when any update is available, would I be able to update normally using Zune?
I read about chevron, but I think they do not support 7.5 (7720) yet
So pleaser held me
By the way, I have WinXP in my laptop, not Win7
Waiting for your help friends

you can if you have unlock (developer or Chevron) and access to the XAP files. as for the wifi bug, I'm not sure what you mean
now I need your help

possible, some you have to buy
I want to connect to wifi (if solution for that ssid but available after rooting/unlocking/jailbreaking my focus)
this should work regardless of where you are in the world. if you can't connect to a wifi then your phone's hardware might have an issue.
Also, if I do jailbreaking, and when any update is available, would I be able to update normally using Zune?
yes
I read about chevron, but I think they do not support 7.5 (7720) yet
no, it only supports OS ver. 7004/7008. You will need to downgrade to 7004 from a rom here, unlock with chevron and install several tools to keep the unlock.

Now, the long bits. I sent this to someone else, but posting it here so others can read. I'll build a newb how-to shortly.
First, you need to be on 7004/7008 OS version (check in settings/about).
If your version is greater than that (739x, 7720) then you need to downgrade to 700x
If your rom is greater than that then read my mini-guide here
Now, you need to unlock, so read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857127
It has a video tutorial, so it should be easy.
Once unlocked, immediately install Samsung Tools from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924497 and run them.
Make sure "prevent relock" is checked (actually everything should be checked) and reset.
Then, install WP7 Root Tools from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1265321
Now, you should be able to sideload.
When you've done all these, you could update to 739x (NoDo) but not all the way to Mango (7720) since you need to do some more steps, which you can also read here (includes all steps):

thanks Sir
you are really very helpful
one last query, can i use winxp for all this. i have read people have trouble using winxp
if not, i will have to update to win7, which is not so easy

You're welcome, good luck!
Yes, you can use XP SP3.

just wanted to share this
i succesfully created apphub account with my university email id
and now i have interop unlocked, and can install 3rd party apps
but still cant connect to wifi (any wifi), even if broadcasting ssid is active, but i cant still connect to wifi
it is hard for me to believe that there is any hardware fault
well lets see, if MS fixes more bugs/adds features in the Nov 7 announcement
fingers crossed

Glad to hear you're sorted, at least for most bits.
I sincerely doubt on Nov 7 they will announce anything else than generation 2 phones and some software. But we'll see.
For your WiFi issue I suggest you try this: install Connectify on a laptop with Windows 7 and share the wireless connection (or a PC with a wireless dongle but with Windows 7). If that doesn't work, your phone has a hardware fault. I know for sure this works with any WP7 phone I've tried.
